Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 What's the chinstrap Bill ,it looks like the cross straps off a US M1928 haversack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major General Bil4338 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Major General Share Posted June 1, 2016 Dunno, they look French rigger-made to me, rather like the purpose-made US gear of WW2.could be from an ex-US webbing item sure enough.the French were given tons of former US webbing after WW2 so that definitely fits.

Major General Bil4338 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Major General Share Posted June 2, 2016 Yup, possibly, or from some other piece of superfluous equipment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
