This is from my collection and I would like to open it up for discussion. First, the sticks seem OK, they look like the ones seen in many photos meaning not the black military style with brass ends.
The skins of course are a modern replacement.
I am not sure about the belt although it seems to go with set. Waist could be no more than 28-29 inches I think.
The eagle with crown is typical, I think, of the early HJ eagles--note, no tail.
I thought most of the drum gear and the drum itself hung from normal HJ belts, but maybe this was used also early on. I just do not know.
The red triangles are facing the wrong way. Outwards instead of inwards. Again, I do not know. Maybe the fellow who put it together put the bottom ring on top and the top ring on the bottom and fitted it before he realized the problem or maybe it was meant to be this way.
Lots of questions. John
