Sub green pillow

Hey troops, I've posted this in the classifieds, but thought I'd stick it here too for more exposure:

When I bought my 1992 N serial TT Sub, it was complete with everything except the original sales receipt. Both boxes, tags, anchor, booklets, the works. Problem is that the original green pillow has deteriorated. Looks like it was originally coated with some kind of green vinyl or paint, but the coating has shed off. Now it's a cloth pillow, with bits of green stuff all through the box. Would like to find a replacement in good condition.

The one from my GMT did the same thing and I assumed it was a fake box since I bought from a gray in 1992.
