Recently got these pannier bags,the joining straps have been cut off and one of the leather corners is just about hanging on,the leather corners are a brown colour,have seen other British items made of the same leather,when every thing is back to normal and back open I hope to visit the Malvern military show (35 miles away) and hopefully find some period 2 inch webbing straps,and brown leather item to use for the leather corners (maybe a damaged or worn item).
