Hello together,
I found this chinstrap on ebay and wonder if it is original or fake?
To the best of my knowledge, the middle bars of the buckles on chinstraps should never have the same height as the frame. But this is just something I've read on other forums, so it's not 100% proven. However, on this one the buckles seem to have been pressed out of a piece of sheet metal in one step. That's what makes me wonder.
But the leather seems to be old and the thread and stitching looks also fine in my opinion. The stitching is close to the middle bars and the leatherends are thinned out, as real saddlers would do.
I would be happy if you could share your opinions on this. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge.
