My NOS rope for the shield. It's beautiful. Even smells nice, like old hemp (or whatever it is).
Wasn't cheap, but good things rarely are. I believe more are available if anyone wants one. PM me if interested. It's an Australian military equipment seller, and I don't begrudge the $130AUD it cost.
The more genuine parts I can add to my gun, the better.
