Re: Opinions on helmet strap
Looks to be German originally. Closeup of the buckle and stitching would help.

Could be a LW strap. They where red/brown as far as i know

Re: Opinions on helmet strap
Tricky, it looks treated perhaps but it's hard to tell. Are the little strap retaining nuggets (I realise I have no idea what these things are called) the usual shape or domed? The buckle looks OK for a steel one to me. No markings?

Re: Opinions on helmet strap
I believe it's a dyed German buckle.

Re: Opinions on helmet strap
Thanks for checking back in Doug. Just the buckle? My first impression was German strap dyed for Norway use.

Re: Opinions on helmet strap
I agree with Doug, it should'nt be too difficult to either re-blacken the outward strap or leave as is.
And Krad those little "nuggets" are called chinstrap STUDS

Re: Opinions on helmet strap
I'm sorry, the entire strap as well looks dyed German. Been a long day traipsing around the battlefields, monuments and cemeteries of Ieper and settling down for the night with my 3rd spiced Oakheart and Coke!

Re: Opinions on helmet strap
Hahaha! Sounds like a good evening for you. I figured you meant the entire strap but just wanted to clarify. Thank you Doug!
