Re: SD SS ckl 66 lot # 2892
Buckle side of the strap looks like it is made from a pocketwatch fob strap.
The other piece might be homemade as there are too many
off-center holes in it !
Interesting modification...............

I like everything about it. The nut on the repaired chinstrap goes very well with this one. Is this for sale?

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
