Hi
As I said here before, I just bought a mint MkVI. It's an 1941 English one (and it's great, as it doesn't smell ).
But what bothers me (well, 'bothering' may not be adequate...) is that it has 'O' rings instead of the usual 'D' ones. They seem to be the original ones, though (while the strap probably isn't: one side has got a 'D' ring and both have a kind of snap hook).
Has anyone met those rings on a MkVI before?
Thanks

I have own/have owned both with both. I guess it's a case of whatever the contractor had on hand. Usually, the O-ring type has the strap sewn on while the D-ring type has a detatchable strap with brass hooks on the ends. I prefer the O-rings. When you put on your fabulous Lee Keppler leather strap, the bag hangs better with them.
