Original German WWII Gasmask Canister Belt Hook Short Strap (Damaged)
It is used to attach the gasmask canister to a soldier's belt for stability. It typically features all web, leather or web rubberized portion with a button and a woven/canvas section with a metal hook. This one has a black rubberized end sewn onto the web strap.
Overall the short strap is in very good condition. The metal hardware shows oxidation and surface rust, but remains intact and functional. The webbing exhibits some minor fraying and discoloration consistent with age and use. The retaining stud is present on the rubberized end, but is torn at the hole. Could be repaired of left alone. Overall in good condition.
