Post war, or early war buckle

[mike y]

I've been trying to figure this one out, but with so many varying opinions I don't know what to think... I'm leaning to purely post war, but I want to know for certain.... if possible...also, does anyone know when this photo was taken?

Mate, have a look here http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/helmets/canadian-mk-ii-its-components-397580/

About halfway down the page is your strap but opinions seem to be divided as to when it was used.

Further down the page postwar straps are pictured.

Mark and I had a great talk via Facebook about this yesterday. It seems that we will never really know until a proven wartime photo surfaces, that can prove that this buckle was used. It's all very fascinating
