WWII PARACORD?

[Bellumbill]

Hello all!

 

I am curious, is there a difference between the color of para or 550 cord today and paracord in WWII? I am not talking about the early white stuff but the later OD stuff. From my eyes the original WWII stuff that I have seen has more brown in it whereas the new stuff is more greenish? Does that make sense?

 

IF in fact the colors are different does anyone know where I might be able to find the right color cord for WWII US Paratroopers?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thank you!

Very best regards,

 

Bill K.
