Description

This is the M39 version which switched over to hook straps designed to be attached to Y-straps, but these were removed and a custom leather strap was put in their place. Pony fur is in okay shape with some bald spots. The leather is cracking, curling, and slightly dry. The one piece of leather at the top is ripped and missing a metal d ring. Some staining and holes in the canvas. Shoulder straps are modern replacements and hook onto the belt. The inside appears to have the canvas replaced in the section with white material along with the button. This could still have life left it and can be used for display or reenactment without worry. I recommend putting some leather conditioner on to make the leather more pliable. Manufacturer marked and dated 1942.
