Unissued Sept. 11th 1944 WW2 US PARATROOPER TROUSER SUSPENDERS

Description

I am listing one of nine sets of unissued  WW2 US paratrooper suspenders These came in a pack of ten with a tag which states 1pairs, suspenders, trouser, stock no. 73.S.73000 spec. no.P.Q.D."247D" PIONEER SUSPENDER CO. P.O. No. 8386 date of P.O.. Dec.11 1944 Philadelphia, Q.M. Depot.
The following description I found and copied off of the internet
. "
This is a mint, unused, pair of original U.S. Army trouser suspenders for use with WWII paratrooper or mountain troop pants. This pair of suspenders was taken from an original bundle of 10 pairs of suspenders, having a tag dated September 15, 1944. They are in perfect, mint condition and have been in storage since the Fall of 1944. They were intended for use in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) but remained unissued and unused. The suspenders are made of OD cotton web. They have elastic tabs on the back at the bottom, with button holes for attaching to the back of the trousers. On the front, they have a set of straps that attach to the trouser buttons on the front of the trouser waistband. These straps, with two button holes, can be moved up and down to adjust for size. The suspenders have a single stock number (73-S-73000) because they are adjustable and thus are considered to be a universal size. The specification number (Spec. PQD 247C) indicates a modification from earlier styles of paratrooper suspenders (Spec. PQD 247, issued in 1942, which had adjusting buckles for the length of the suspenders and metal tabs for the buttons, and Spec. PQD 247A, issued in spring of 1943, which had leather buttonhole tabs and adjusting buckles -- I haven't been able to find out yet what modifications came with Spec. PQD 247
B.) ******** This style of trouser suspenders was preferred by Airborne and Mountain troops because they held up the heavily-laden paratrooper or ski pants better than a trouser belt alone. However, they were also used on the standard wool combat trousers, and could be worn with any pair of pants having buttons inside the waist band. This would include the M1943 (M-43) cotton twill pants, which began to be issued in large numbers to soldiers in the ETO in 1944 as part of the new M43 uniform which included the M43 field jacket and the double-buckle boots. Many of these suspenders were worn by troops in the ETO during the winter of 1944-45."
There is much more information listed with this but it is very long. So I copied what I thought would apply to this description.
