Hello,
Jeff has asked me to post the following photo. We are having trouble identifying what the strap is or is holding on this German para. Thank you for any help. Regards, Brock

Did some work on the picture in Photoshop to clean it up......hope it helps...
May I suggest it might be the strap for the spare barrel container...

Ron,
First thank you so much for the photo cleanup. I thought perhaps it was a spare barrel container strap but it never hurts to be extra sure. Regards Brock
 
Could it be for a rifle...? It's very similar to the strap of the guy on the right of the photo. A bit of barrel seems to be visible as well. (Looking again) no that's not a rifle barrel but part of the MG. But he does have the ammo bandolier for rifle ammo, hasn't he?
Strap looks to carry something heavier than the gas mask container...
Hm.

By the way, not related to the picture, but may I request Jeff to sculpt something with a rifle instead of the almost-always-present MG?
Anyway, looking forward to his next sculpt!

Guys,
Thanks for the input. We have been told it could be a bread sack strap as the width is the same. Or a strap for ammo pouches. Thanks for chiming in. Adrian I'll let Jeff know about the rifle. Regards, Brock
