Hello I don't have a good feeling about this one a bit too crisp and stiff. Also the eyelets to put the m1910 equipment are not reight IMO I would steer away from this one Max

Wow! Nice pile  Seeing this post reminds me of a question on maker marks for the straps - is there a way to link the maker marks (U;G;S;H are the ones  I have) to the list of known manufacturers?  The QM data set that was shared on this forum at some point listed the manufacturers and the contract numbers,  but no link between the single letter stamps and the maker name. 

Okay thank you so would it be safe to say the five button pictured would have been in service about the time of the Spanish American war?

Interesting indeed, that Yellow border, could very well be German Army-Waffen SS Waffenfarbe Piping that was used on Shoulder Straps. and Visored Caps, the Schrimmuetze, the Lemon Yellow of the Signals, the Nachrichtentruppe, or if Luftwaffe, the Flying units.
