Hey Gino, I may have an opportunity to meet with Ira Keeler...one of the designers/builders of the suit. Assuming I have the opportunity, what things should I ask him about?

This looks like it could be a rear sight of a handgun. Here is a pic of a more modern rear sight.

This is way too big for a Handgun rearsight!

The dimensions of the greeblie would not fit a handgun, and given the hand guns available for that era definitely wouldn’t fit.

Even looking at rifles etc so a larger weapon, the dimensions are just too big.

 

Just my two penneth from 15yrs in the armed forces!

Hey guys..

I don’t know if this was ever solved?

For the last couple weeks, I keep coming back to this image with the white stripes . I know I’ve see this before.....somewhere. 

 

Then it dawned on me I think I saw it like a month ago at my moms house in a box full of handbag and duffle bag shoulder straps she’s had since the early 80’s  

Im heading there tomorrow after work unless you guys already found it.

The idea that they were handstraps came up but we couldnt nail down the source.  Let us know what you find!

Was inside this old Gremlins duffel bag lol

Its made of cotton, not nylon.  Not elastic

Awesome find! I'm not sure if it's really the same material as the originals but it's definitely the closest one I've seen to date - great job!

Sweet!  That reinforces what a lot of us always thought, that they were just 2 inch cotton webbing and not anything stretchable.
