I was offered this set and went ahead and bought them. An odd set, they appear to be transitional straps converted from 1934 pattern straps to post 1938 leadership straps. It appears they were originally for Bann 233 Gladbach-Rheydt of the West/Ruhr-Niederrhein Gebiet and then converted for Bann 131 Hamm of the West/Westfalen Gebiet An oddity but I like them. Will show more photos when they arrive. Photos are from Matt aka "afrikasandman" on WAF.

Those are 1 UGLY pair of Original straps ... Love em though .
 
I would think that since these type of straps that have been dyed or resurfaced with black cloth are transitional period insignia , I would bet that they would have only been worn for a short period , maybe less than 6 months . I could be wrong , it would just make since to me .
