Great work! Congrats! It just dawned on me..if I ever get another bag, I won't be able to order any NH straps!! :o

I love the NH strap!!! I've never ordered from Lee, but when I hear how long it takes to get his stuff, I just don't have the patience for it. Oh, the horror!!!

You remember the Beatles album that had a new cover pasted over the 'butcher' photo, and everyone tore off the new cover to see the one underneath? Today it's the albums that still have the original covers intact that are valuable. I wonder if eventually the MKVII bags with original straps on them will become valuable due to scarcity?

Cool!

That matches up with the manufacturers on the main site too!

It looks nicely green... Perhaps a list of what companies made green bags would be in order?

Again, congratulations!
I'm waiting for a couple of Canadian bags to arrive myself.

Yes, I noticed a few had withdrawn their bids. Most kind and thank you for that! I finally got them for $13.50, someone made a bid about 1 minute before it ended but luckily I'd made a higher "highest" bid.

It's gonna be interesting when they finally arrive.

Nice pics of a nice bag! Interesting specs on your old bag too!

Cheers,

Lars
