John Lennon's last guitar strap as a Beatle

[don_burke]

Ok, gang I have a good one for you.
First of all, I realize that this is not a Ric thing, but it is a Beatle thing
all the same. I am looking for a duplicate of John Lennon's last guitar strap
as a Beatle, as seen in the Roof Top Concert.
I have been looking everywhere, stores, the net etc, with no luck.
Any ideas?

You do see these sorts of straps on Ebay but luck and patience will be needed.
I have an old one with a flying dove on it.

There several straps I'd like to get, but alas because of the housing slump bump screeching slowdown I'm strapped for cash..

What was that odd strap John used on his Casino from the '66 US tour 'til the Revolution/Hey Jude music videos? Looks like a standard belt with holes put in for the strap buttons.

I had located that strap after an intensive Internet search and finally located it at a Japanese vendors site (I had to email as site was in Japanese) but it ended up being something like $130 US so I passed.

Are you POSING in front of a mirror or are you actually playing guitar?

Hello? There was only 1 John Lennon for heaven's sake! Be your own man!

Always check these guys for any recreations of 60s/70s guitar straps.

Just a quick search of their site I found this, which is close to what the OP has in his first pic, they probably have the exact strap but it takes a while to look thru all of 'em.

To the OP: Have you googled "Vintage Bobby Lee Lennon Strap" yet? That might do the trick for ya!

This place has what looks like a very accurate reproduction:
