The buckle reminds me of this one. https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/equip...ittens-248041/
I've also noticed that some other trigger-finger mittens of WW2 (various countries) have a similar buckle/strap.

A VERY close match here: WW1 or WW2 French Artillery or Gunners Gloves | eBay

I know that the AAF bomber crews had mitten that had the separate trigger finger, But the ones I have seen were all leather. The do look like they were made for war!!! I can't make out what the stamping on them say's.... Can you make it out? \
