I have seen more of these "humped up" Marine HJ straps in current times than ever before . In fact , I have seen 100s of photos of MHJ but have only seen 2 photos of anchors in wear on the straps . The strap itself is good , as are the anchor and the pip . However if you are considering buying Marine HJ shoulderstraps that have been embelished .... think of it this way ... a $65 dollar single shoulderstrap , a $10 dollar anchor and a $5 dollar pip ... thats $80 dollars ( double that for a pair) ... What you will get , is a really sexy looking MHJ shoulderstrap .
