hi Jim
Yes , I discovered I can buy a 8 metre length at the local Horse equipment shop.. they sell lunge reins ( whatever that is ), made from 1" cotton ( chinese made I suspect ) webbing . It is around 2mm thick as opposed to the genuine stuff which is 3 mm ..and it's a very dark green, but its better than nothing .
Out of interest: What is the webbing you have there ? Is it the lighter khaki colour and what length ? I am interested in it, PM me . The local disposals shop has just about run out of the genuine WW2 era webbing items .. I spotted some 1944 dated compass pouches NOS, and a few of the map holders 1943 dated - they told me the WW2 era stock has just about dried up..after 30 years of selling this stuff ..seems like the end is near .
