Charles,

These are either private purchase examples, or at worst, reproductions by someone who assumed the squared off button ends were carried over in 1907.

Interesting.

 

over the years I've seen 3-4 pair of Saxon straps with squared end. I don't have the regs that discuss the straps for Saxon and other Kingdoms. I have always thought all troops would wear same uniform, cap, and straps..

Would private straps be authorized?

There's nothing in the regulations authorizing this type strap. Of course, not all troops would wear the same stuff. Private purchase straps were always available if you could afford them.
