Chris,
I bid on twelve lots at Stauffer's, but only got one. The one that I did get had four straps in it, three of which were different patterns (one m11 enlisted Flieger for the M95 Waffenrock, one M07/11 for the feldgrau Waffenrock and two M15s. Funny thing was, the M07/11 was the other half of a pair, the single of which I got seven years ago! Now, the private purchase pair is back together. Small world.
Who was the guy that you bought the Leib boards from? Was it Ebayer Ulan9?
I probably should have bid higher at Stauffer's, but I subtracted the 22% VAT from my bids and I was a bit conservative, as I was afraid I might get more than I could afford. Stauffer's charged me 35 Euro to mail four straps to the States. They then sent me another bill with a 60 Euro packaging and mailing fee. Fortunately, I had already paid the lower amount and they did sent the straps out. What a rip!

Bavarian Jäger straps are few and far between, especially wartime models, which are very non-descript. A gray strap with a "1" or a "2" is really not very noteworthy. One would easily pass them up. The M15 green versions are very tough to find. I have owned three enlisted ones from the 3.Jäger Regt. and have never seen issue versions from the 1st or 2nd. Maybe someday....
