Hi All

Here is a chinstrap I picked up this weekend. The leather is intact, but week. Looks to be early war.. The leather is marked with an S that is different than most I have seen. Let me know what you think.

That's early production, all right; the brown-painted rivets tell that tale.
Good find!

I'm so old, I still call W.W.II U.S. militaria "war surplus".

Congrats on finding one!
