I got this from eBay the other week:
/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=5965&private=0
/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=5966&private=0

The strap is also shown in the ad here: http://vintagegruen.org/vgforum/index.php?t=msg&th=343&a mp;a mp;goto=1426&#msg_1426

I'd love to see an original one. I snagged an original WWI strap with the J.F. Sturdy buckle. The site also shows the Gruen "Liberty strap": LINK. I've been able to make reproductions of both. the Gruen one, is far simplier than the others. Seems to be just a simple buckle:

/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=5967&private=0
/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=5968&private=0

Anyone have an original?

That is a nice find. Shame there is no content.

The buckle looks like one part of the ladies ribbon clasp, without the “horns”.. (Sliding clip)
