Cal30M1 Posted June 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 11, 2020 Never seen hooks like this on a GP strap. Is this even USGI? Even the WWII GP Straps I have seen have the standard looking hooks so I don't know what to make of this thing. Anyone ever seen the likes of it before?

Cal30M1 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted June 12, 2020 No it's an ePay listing. Genuine-US-Military-issue-Heavy-Duty-Webbing-Strap-2-x40-Multi-Purpose-Strap Here's the description; Genuine US Military issue Heavy Duty Webbing Strap 2"x40" (A-533) New (OLD Stock) Genuine US Army issue strap Olive green canvas Webbing Strong lobster claw clip on the both end Metal buckle to fasten 2" Width and 40" length of webbing Great for camping, Car accessories, Military Webbing Strap Highly durable and hard wearing olive Drab webbing Strap U.S. Army General Purpose Shoulder Strap Assemblies: Complete with hook on each end. Adjustable length for large or small person approx. 20" to 40". Perfect for military bags, binoculars, cameras, canteen covers, etc. Made to last a lifetime. To me for all intents and purposes it looks like any other pre-60's GP Strap but for those funky hooks. They don't look as strong as the usual hook set up. 10 buck shipped it a bit steep for 1 GP strap but the hooks made me save it to my favs. IF it's USGI as stated then it might be cool to have a few just because of the uniqueness of the hooks but I can get TWO regular canvas GP's for $7 each which is a more tolerable price for an old man that used to buy these things to a dollar! 👴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britcoll36 Posted June 30, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 30, 2020 Hi, Saw this post and wanted to reply. It is a Dutch manufactured copy of the standard US GP strap. The same hooks were also used on the strap that was used for their copy of the Canadian gas mask bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal30M1 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted June 30, 2020 Thanks! I figured it must have been foreign. I passed and found some 1" cotton webbing straps that are like the dispatch case slings but longer and without the shoulder pads. Thanks again for IDing it. I figured someone here would recognize it!
