: G'day fellas! Well, I finally got back home (where my newly acquired NH strap resided for the past two weeks) from the univ., and naturally the first order of business after walking through the door was to mate the strap to the Mk.VII! I must say that I was rather pleasantly surprised, the color is a little more reddish and lighter than what we're used to from the films, esp. ToD, but otherwise it's spot-on... and it sure beats that short webbing strap.

: Question though... did anyone actually glue the two ends of the strap together? I just used the rivet, which was actually a pretty simple operation, and it's holding up well.

: All in all, recommended if you haven't gotten the strap yet. : )

: Cheers,

I got my strap about 3 weeks ago and as soon as I got my bag I attached them puppies together. I didn't use any glue, I just pounded the rivet in, we'll see if it'll hold my weight as I hang from a tank's gun barrel, which is something I plan on doing shortly.
