Based on Soviet design, these are made of a faux leather vinyl type material. It is very difficult to find examples at all, nevermind mint examples as the fabric dries out and flakes over time. The East Germans did not produce these to become collectibles, they were expected to wear out and replaced as needed. As far as I can tell, there seems to be no real design variation over the years, except the manner and placement of date and size stamps and variation of strap colors. 1, 3 and 5 are summer issue, while 2 and 4 are fur lined winter versions. All are mint and unissued...for now
