NATO Question...
I know this has been asked a million times before but I was looking at purchasing a NATO strap for my 14060 Non Date and was wondering if anyone has some advice on the best and most authentic strap available. Links would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what is the length (in mm) between the lug holes on a 14060 Non Date?

If you're looking for a NATO strap go here and don't look back http://www.broadarrow.net/maratac.htm The pseudo-Bond ones are at the bottom, and there are many other styles, too.

There are 2 types, one with rounded hardware and one with squared off hardware. Which one is the squared off hardware?
