This one is currently running on Eban & although the straps are leather, I would think it's a made up set using Heer hardware since a Fire Official's hangers have pebbled fittings & an HJ Leader's are smooth with no oakleaves. I think it pays to watch certain sellers too, this one had a very questionable sawback fireman's bayonet by the never before seen manufacturer F. D1ck. From the pictures, it certainly appeared the sawback was a postwar embellishment.

I suppose the initial asking price would be extremely low were the hangers an original HJ Leader's or Fire Official's hangers. I wanted to save the pics here for posterity. The reverse of the leather straps looks (to me anyway) that they were constructed recently.
