Hello gentlemen
I believe the strap to be good but what about the kradschutzen cypher?
Does it belong on this board or did someone just dress it up?

Thank you
Mike

The strap itself is good. The cypher dose not belong on the strap. The motor HJ used pink piped and numbered straps, not red. Sometimes non regulation cyphers were added to HJ straps but proving it period done, almost impossible without direct photographic evidence. Do not pay more that the cost of a standard HJ strap for this.
 
Thanks guys for the replies. I thought it looked like a "k". Thanks for clearing that up. I was pretty sure it didn't belong on the board but thought I'd ask anyway. Mike
 
One more question, the cypher "R" that doesn't belong on this board signifies bicycle unit?Mike
 
Hello suomi1941. If you do not know, ask and possibly you will get an answer.

The "R" is the type as in use upon the shoulder-straps for the army and indeed
indicates bicycle: Radfahr-Abteilung,
but it was also use by mounted artillery (Reitende Artillerie-Abteilung), as far as
I can remember.

For the difference with the "K" see a part from a sales-catalogue from a manufacturer!
