Repro Chin Straps??

[MG34NZ]

Wheres the best place to pick up decent repro chin straps for enlisted mans helmets without paying crazy prices?I have a couple of haulbes in need of chin straps and the last lot of straps I purchased was ten to fifteen years back and were found at a gun show.
Thanks

Hey Andrew,
There's a guy in the Czech Republic/Prague that sells these for fairly decent prices on eBay.
Here's an example:

Thanks Ron,

The fittings on the Czech straps are too thin and don't look right on the helmet. Age of Kings' are more expensive, but their metal is the correct gage. If you're not sure, drop them a line.
