3 snaps USN life belt

[max0073]

Hi,

 

I heard several times that only m26 USN life belt with 3 snaps have been used on D-Day.

 

Is that right or a dealer-story ?

 

 

3 snaps :

 

2 snaps :

 

 

 

Thanks,

I haven't heard that before. I would guess anything manufactured under 1943 contracts or earlier would be plausable. When did the 2 snap belts start showing up?

Hi subsystem4,

 

I heard this in France among some collector but I am really not sure it has any sense.
