Original German WWII Gasmask Strap Leather Reinforcement Tab
An original German WWII gas mask strap reinforcement tab, constructed of blackened leather and used on gas mask canister straps to help distribute tension and prevent tearing of the webbing during field use.
The tab shows minimal period wear and age, with light age, very slight dryness, all consistent with careful service use and long-term storage. The leather remains intact and supple, presenting in very good overall condition.
As with all period leather items, we recommend careful handling and storage to preserve its condition.
