German Tropical or Webbing Equipment Strap

Good condition , light used Web or "Tropical" version of the straps designed to secure the blanket and/ or greatcoat to the Tornister Packs or A-frames. These were used as a general purpose strap to secure all manner of gear- except mess tins. They are not long enough. Tornister straps have an extra, quick-release strap sewn to the buckle-end to allow for attaching and releasing gear, which is bound by the strap, without having to unroll it.
