unmarked y straps are they common?

**Jammanna** · 06-02-2015, 10:07 PM

I was looking over these y straps that appear to have no markings to speak of. These look good to me with the only questionable observation being the stitching on the upper d rings. Most straps I see have a middle row of stitching for strength. Do these look good to you folks?

Hello,
They're OK...no problem with the lack of the third stitching for the D-rings...
Thanks

No problems with this one.... unmarked Y-straps are encountered a lot....

Also the stitching is no problem.... there were many many ways of attaching the D-Rings, probably all manufacturer variations....

Here an example.....

and a lot of other variations from my collection

Hello,
Fortunately for some people on the forum, Tom does not own all of them...ehehehe

Quality and quantity on the same photo...this is how i love collection...thanks for sharing Tom...dont you own a pair of unissued "light" Y-straps, factory modified in this type of Y-straps, then issued as a pair of standard infantry Y-straps ?...they're also great...
Thanks

Don't you mean the cavalry Y straps ?? with the vertical D-rings ??

I did have a pair of light weight Y straps with aux. straps which were field modified, but i don't have them anymore

Hello Tom,
No i didn't mean cavalry Y-straps with vertical D-rings, but unissued early type lightweight Y-straps that were factory modified and had the usual D-rings and auxiliary straps added then that were issued as normal infantry Y-straps....they're quite scarce now as not many were produced...
Thanks
