noworky Posted April 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2011 WW2 field gear is not my expertise and I purchased these of Epay with poor detail photos and as soon as I opened them up I said REPRODUCTION! I've had a few pair of these suspenders and have a good idea what they're supposed to look like, and I think not like these. I just want to hear it from you guys, they are repops right?

doyler Posted April 1, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 1, 2011 close call but Im thinking originals.Atlas was a WW2 maker.I will admit the ink stamping is off kilter a bit but I have seen some faint or bad marks before on gear.Im looking at the D-rings and seeing a faint bit of rust where its ckinched under the metal clamp.Also the repro webbing to me has a fuzzy look to it.Also the spring clips seem to be a better quality than i see on some of the current repros. Im thinking you done ok RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noworky Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted April 1, 2011 I know the stamps can be partials and not straight I thought the hardware was too shiny and to tinny looking and wasn't sure about the rivets. They were described as mint unissued. Maybe it's been to long sine I've seen a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everforward Posted April 1, 2011 Share #9 Posted April 1, 2011 I think the suspenders are okay as well. I had an Atlas cartridge belt a while back dated 1941........ If that is a fake it is a scary nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
