These are correct high end “Collector Grade” two piece leather BLACK (tan interior) Leather German Stahlhelm Chinstraps,, as adopted in November 1935 (HV35,No.691/HV36,No.112) to replace the brown helmet chin strap of WWI. Two piece construction of high quality leather with connecting buckle, and two steel studs.

The straps attach to the Helmet Liner with folded ends connected to the appropriate left and right hanger eyes affixed to the liner, by shirt stud style double buttons. Traditionally the short strap side was attached to the left side of the Helmet unless the Soldier was left handed, necessitating firing the rifle from the left side; then the short strap was attached to the right hanger eye.

Length adjustable 17 to 11 inches.
