I'm glad I don't have to take you shopping for shoes....

I know haha, I'm not too proud of how I handled this whole case

In the end I'm very happy of how things turned out.

Hahaha, I know exactly what you mean, but being a student, money is limited.

As promised, here a some pictures

As you can see, I was able to find an original chinstrap for it. I really like the end result! Tomorrow I shall go and order a custom glass display case for it. I also bought a humidity reader and will use it to keep the humidity at a viable level for both the steel and leather.

Did I post this too late and no one saw the pictures?

I'd like to hear some opinions.

**Walkwolf** · 05-08-2015, 11:05 PM

Reich, I believe your chinstrap is not an original.
Could you post a pic oif the buckle.........?

**Reich** · 05-09-2015, 01:39 PM

Certainly, here are a couple of pictures. I I can take better pictures tomorrow if you need it.

PS: Mobile forum doesn't support uploading of images, so I shall link them from an external source.

The chinstrap was bought from the Collector's Guild.

Reich IMO your chinstrap looks out of place as it does not match the condition age and over all appearance of the rest of your M-40 I would have tried to source a more worn looking example.

Thank you for the feedback! Most people seem to agreeing with you. Personnally it doesn't bother me but I can see why it would look out of place to some people.
