1915 LP-08 Rig with Pigskin Holster

Paolo, I agree to some extent. I have seen them made from many different metals, even a mix..copper rivets and brass washers. Later Artillery rigs were made of steel. Earlier rigs were not metal at all but stitched where later rivets were used.
When making a replica I try to be as accurate as possible within reason. I use all solid hand made parts I make myself and hand hammer the rivets just as the Germans did. The Artillery boots I make are double thick leather and hand stitched with linen thread.
I believe they are the most authentic and accurate Artillery boots made anywhere in the World today.
I try to confer with my clients about their preferences but stay within authentic parameters.

Paolo, Thanks for the information! Jerry Burney
