You can buy a repro from What Price Glory, http://www.whatpriceglory.com/mkviibag.html

If you want an original one, you should check out Soldier of Fortune. http://www.1944airborne.com/reenactors/index.htm Code: BE719 British WWII --> Equipment --> Field Equipment

I got mine from Soldier of Fortune in the UK a few weeks ago; unfortunately, they doubled the price, so they go for 20 pounds now. See link above - they ship SUPER fast! From the UK to Canada in two days!

First of all - Hi to everyone, because I am new here!

I'm also looking for that nice Indy bag and I think the one from www.1944airborne.com is just great!

I would really like to buy it, but I'm mot sure of the right color. It says there are 3 colors availabel: "W & G TAN", "M & G Green" and "H & suns green".

So, I'm not sure... maybe one of you guys can help me? That would be brilliant!

Many thanks in advance!

I think that 71 euros for a MkVII is way too much. You can get them a lot cheaper from eBay.

Soldier of Fortune quadrupled the price a week after I got mine - they realized what they had and what some people were willing to pay for it. ...unfortunately.

Have you tried Todds costumes? They have repro MkVII bags - actually the same kind as you get from WPG. They are a little dark to be screen acurate - I'm leaving mine outside in the sun to naturally bleach it out...

The sun should also kill any mould or musty funk it has, if it has any. Good call. Todd's will also have a screen accurate strap and buckle, won't it?

Well I heard that the Deluxe Strap or something like that is really good.

I have a mint, unissued MkVII and a brand new OD repro from Todd's costumes. Side by side, Todd's bag just needs a little lightening- but not by much- I think it's pretty much dead on.

Seriously, the repro from Todd's or WPG is perfect for your needs. If you want the bag for everyday use- go with this one, there's no need to daily use a real MkVII- I see them as being too precious. You can beat up a repro without having to damage a piece of history.

I went with the deluxe strap from Todd's as well. I just replaced the chicago screws on the back as they come in gold when they should be silver. Nice solid buckle on it though... :)
