thanks!  they seems rare, think i have had maybe 3 in 20 years. problem is they fake them now so i think people get worried, sort of hurts the market

At first I thought this must be a repro, but I believe it's the real deal. Might be worth posting in the military section once the auction ends.

don't hold your breath for a bargin,  IMHO this will prob end up between 2 to 3k USD

I have one of the reproductions, they are extremely good. The only things giving them away are the condition, stiffness of the straps and very minute details such as how tight the tassel ends are knitted.

sale price was $1500 USD.

 

I think that was a bargin for the condition
