After a little searching, I finally found a snap hook which looks pretty close to the one in the Reference pics (second row, stacked-up hand shake - look left at the snap body shape). A little pic scaling and some hardware later, I came up with this.
It may not be “perfect”, but I think it’s pretty darn close !
Busybuildr put me down for one if you ship to the UK, thats the one key chain im missing searched high & low for that actual style that was used in the first movie
The Tandy leather is top quality, but is is unfinished - you would have to dye and seal it.
eBay generally has remnants of dyed and finished leathers at really good prices. However, finding the right thickness may take a little patience as most of the remnants are from upholstery shops (too thin).
I’ll check the weight of the straps I have to get the appropriate black leather. It appears to me that all the straps are the same- a strap with a D-ring on the end. The only difference that I can see is that some have the keyring and quick clip attached to them as shown in your picture. Although the reference picture I am looking at (the one mentioned in this thread) shows the keyring at the end of the strap instead of looped around the D-ring. In other words, the quick clip and D-ring mate together instead of the keyring and the D-ring. The other one like it in that same photo almost looks like the quick clip is attached directly to the strap around the belt and a keyring hanging from the quick clip. Then a third style in that picture is just of the strap and the D-ring.
Gotcha. I had always thought that the thrower hooked into the keyring. The reference pictures I have seen of the gun show a metal wire hook that would hang on the key ring.
