Just to be sure :

here is a picture of what has been sold for genuine 550 paracord, in a military surplus shop in Paris :


I was so sure it would be the real Mc Coy (?), that I didn't check until at home ....

Inside the sheath, there are 2 strands made of very thin (thiner than a hair...) and brittle threads.

I went back, but the saleclerck insists that this is 550 paracord.
AFAIR, genuine 550 paracord is supposed to be 7 strands.
Anybody can confirm ?

TIA
