Who makes the most accurate LC bag strap?
Here's a question for everyone, in your opinions, who makes the most accurate 'Last Crusade' bag strap & buckle?
I'm getting another MK VII and I want to do it up LC style.
I haven't spent all that much time looking at the one in the film so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

This strap isn't as easy to come by as the Raiders version is. I know that Magnoli (http://magnolic.ipower.com/catalog/prod ... 8621db7049) offers one but that it's out of stock at the moment. According to their site...
"Both straps are currently out of stock. You may still order this item, and it will ship around the end of July."
I thought that Lee Kepler may offer one as well but I haven't received a response to the e-mail I sent him regarding a LC bag strap yet.
Or if you're willing, you can try to make one. The buckle is the pain to find. My suggestion for it would be to get a 3/4 inch center bar roller buckle (in a silver color) and to remove the prong from it. Then bend the buckle somewhat near the center in order to give it the LC look. Then you'd need the leather strap and two Chicago screws.
It would be a bit of searching to find a leather strap in the length you need. It's supposed to be 20mm (about 3/4") wide and 65" long. Remembering that the ends of the leather strap will be folded over and held closed by Chicago screws (one at each end) I'd recommend a length of about 69" (two inches to fold over on each end). Here's a picture of the buckle on this strap...
I've been looking to add this strap to my MKVII as well and these are the possibilities that I have found so far.

I just got off the phone with him too. He's sending out my Raiders strap soon (fingers crossed) and I will be ordering his LC strap as well.
LC strap has no grooves, just like the Raiders strap and TOD strap did not have grooves. (Regardless of what some people claim). If in doubt about the groove controversy, just ask Lee.
