I have this small leather strap, maybe a helmet chinstrap? It measures 16 1/2" long. Any help/ideas of where to further look for info on its use, country of origin, or what time period it's from would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Congrats on your new to you T-99.

“Battleground” will always be me all time favorite Bulge movie. Filmed in 1949. It captures the real feel of being an American infantryman. The screenwriter and many actors were Bulge veterans. 

Thank you! It goes great with my type 38 Carbine

Nice rifle.  Rich A. in Pa.

Hello everyone,    I thought I’d share my type 99 rifle that I just acquired.

Unidentified Panzermann, wears the Field Grey, porously it's Waffenfarbe Soutasch appears dark, like Artilerie etc, curiously still, he's not wearing the Skull and Crossbones on his patches.

Hungary, Spain and China used the German style. I am leaning towards Hungary. But I cannot guess on the one that is scalloped.

More Soviet soldiers in CBRN suits. More Soviet soldiers, this time in full kit. 3rd soldier is wearing a PMG-2 mask, and 2nd soldier has a AK74. Another soviet soldier, with his AK74. Romanian soldiers, wearing what I assume is the romy version of the SSH-40. I think these are artillery / tank troops. Romy soldier, I believe an officer due to the different cap device. Also seems he's wearing the winter variant of his uniform.  Romy infantry soldiers reading a newspaper.
