Polish AKM 6H3 & 6H4 Wrist Straps

Post by Mr. B. »

Polish AKM 6H3 & 6H4 wrist straps are all pretty much the same. The are natural smooth leather with a single bright buckle. The leather color varies from light tan, almost white, to dark brown, but most are a light natural and turn darker brown with use and exposure to the elements. The main way to identify them is that they are the only ones that are sewn instead of riveted to close the small loop. Usually they are sewn in an "X" or "hour glass" shape and have an embossed line along the edges of the strap. However some especially on export versions the sewing is in a straight line and the embossed lines are omitted. Note the one on the far right of the 6H4 picture. Mike
