    Default Chin strap(s) check

    I have an opportunity to acquire these two straps. One is 1940 and one is dated 42. Do they look ok to you guys?

    Look good to me as well.

    The flat steel buckle doesn't have a hump on the bar where the pin rests does it?

    Not sure. Why.

    It doesn't appear to on second photo. Not sure about close up on buckle photo.

    There's a 'humpback' fake out there, I can't tell from the close up pic if it has it or not. I think it's ok but I'd want a close shot or 2 of that particular buckle before I did the deal personally.

    I'd like to see side profile pics of both buckles. I'm not 100% on the steel buckle. The aluminum looks like it has a chance. The long portions I'm on the fence about. the stamps aren't very deep. Let's see if some others chime in

    Where are these being sold from (country)?
    Looking for:

    1) A court mounted EKII
    2) M42 of no collector value, bare steel if possible. Liner and liner bands not needed.
    3) Monetary donations towards my purchase of an SS helmet
