Best of luck getting hold of one of those.
@parramoom I'd suggest taking a look at Squadron Sew Shop on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/191725561221347 they make (relatively) reasonably priced but high quality repros of vintage gear like this.
Bear in mind though that if you're after something accurate to the embassy siege era kit then it's a heavy old beast and you WILL sweat balls.
