Derek,

I think there has been comment on this recently but the workmanship is quite OK for WW2 manufacture of Commonwealth webbing. So much of it was absolute cr-p when compared to other nations.

I would vote for it being a production model - I have seen very much worse.

What it is I have no idea!

As someone who has experience using a sewing machine I would agree that these straps have been made or modified by an individual. Question is whether it was done during military service or afterwards.

The best resource for Canadian 1937 Pattern webbing and all its subtlties is Ed Storey in Ottawa. Heck, even Clive let him write a book on it for him.

Default Webbing

It is a made-up item out of several pieces of web.

@Ed - how do you do that? You have superior spidey senses for postings with your name in them.
