Default Silver Eagle 'Pickpocket' guitar straps?

Anyone know a source for one of these vintage guitar straps?

They were non-adjustable (no buckle), but had several holes at each end to vary the length, around 3 1/2 inches wide, made of leather, with usually a thick woven fabric in a southwest motif sewn to the outside of the strap. Some were just fabric with no leather backing. They had the Silver Eagle stamp and a small pocket sewn into one end of the strap where one could stash flatpicks, and were primarily sold during the 70's.

Any leads would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Are you still looking for one of these straps? I have a 3" one that is adjustable, with the pick pocket...
