[Boatanchors] [Milsurplus] WTB or WTT: Leg Key

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Both look pretty much like the one I have had for over 45 years now!
 
Mine still has what appears to be the original cord with its PL-55!
Plus considerable corrosion.  Label on it is Lewyt 374.
 
Sure fits my thigh a whole lot tighter than it did when I got it!
