Hi Juan, a couple of observations.
The straps appear to have been made completely out of dark green "badge cloth" material. They are not issue straps.
The button holes look rather weak in construction for what would be a private purchase item from a tailor.
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade for all your input. If I may ask, should I take from your comments that these are not interesting ones and thus I should pass? Or the fact that they maybe the result of a private tailor makes them somehow "unique"

It depends what you like to collect?
Some people just like issue kit, while other like private purchase items. Both are good to collect.
I would not pay around £90 for a pair of straps.

Thanks Ade, I will pass, although being period ones, like issued ones, and the fact that the price is no good it then gives me no choice, but to pass

Hello,
The boards do have the traits of being private purchase tailor made. Slit button holes, Made of felt and not badge cloth... The also look very similar to some of the newer reproductions that have hit the market lately. Good call on passing on these IMO.
