They do - and the straps come with the necessary curved spring bars. I bought a pair of ACM straps where the spring bars did not fit correctly. The straps simply came off when twisted slightly. This has been corrected and I now have two new straps from AC...

So then, is it safe to assume that these are the correct FPJ straps from ACM? www.acollectedman.com
Yes, that’s correct

Mine are the Istanbul and the Helsinki. Please be aware that they come in two lengths. The short one is....short! Claus
