Hi all I thought I would chime in here with some additional information on jackets. I've been a member of this forum many years, though I've never been overly active. Indy jackets have been debated online for many years with a lot of bad information going around -- and I believe for some time, delib...

I've seen Raiders jackets with both BRITISH and SOLIDE buckles. That photo with the purple-gloved hand, and the "Scratches" visible on the leather of the jacket, is definitely a Raiders jacket and not TOD. I've seen a TOD jacket with SOLIDE buckles. Maybe there are TOD jackets with other b...

BrandonA18

Nice research Stefan. FYI at least one Raiders jacket (private collection) has the "Solide" buckles rather than the "British" buckles. There is also variation in the zippers - at least two different brands. The Lucas Museum collection has 2x Raiders jackets and 2x TOD jackets. Th...

Deborah Nadoolman was stood behind me when I took these, and I'm pretty sure she was mentally rolling her eyes when she was looking at it. I wasn't sure what this quote meant so I followed up with Deborah directly. She confirmed she said nothing negative about this piece at the exhibition. Regards ...

All, Absolutely no soil / staining / fuller's earth was removed from this hat. The hat was previously owned by Desi, was sold by Desi to another collector, and that collector consigned it directly to Prop Store. The hat is in the same condition today that it was in when Desi owned it. Note also it p...

The film used Raiders jackets I have handled do not have cotton linings - they are polyester or a similar synthetic fabric.

For clarity, the photos that will be shown in the catalog were shot first, at our facility in Los Angeles. The hat then went to Comic Con, then traveled to the UK (where it was shown with the top sitting incorrectly at one point) and the top has now been re adjusted to current format -- which is how...

Hi all, When our auction catalog is released on August 31st, a comprehensive photo gallery of this hat will be included which shows multiple shots from a variety of angles, including the sweatband. The hat will also be on display in London for two weeks prior to the auction and I'm certain more phot...

BrandonA18

Here's a photo of myself with the hat at Comic Con.

And a photo of the hat taken today.

Once again, the hat's felt is so soft that it adjusts easily from handling or setting on a headstand.

https://www.advintage.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/raidershatcrown.jpg The Fedora looks totally rebashed into a tear drop. How can it be so soft to take on the shape of a hat stand. I own a borsalino alessandria thats super soft and its bash come undone easily but not enough to conform with the si...

Some production stills of this specific hat from my archive -- https://images.propstore.com/476646.jpg https://images.propstore.com/476647.jpg https://images.propstore.com/476648.jpg https://images.propstore.com/476649.jpg https://images.propstore.com/476650.jpg https://images.propstore.com/476651.j...

All -- The hat has not been casually "re-bashed" in the sense of what I think you all are describing, based on the above commentary. The hat it extremely soft and malleable. If you set it onto a head form, it will take the "wrong" shape, with the inside of the top pushed upward, ...

BrandonA18

Hi guys, Like my good friend Mark, I've spent some time in the Ranch archives (I authored two books for Lucasfilm - Star Wars Costumes: The Original Trilogy and Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie) and have had the opportunity to peruse some of the Indy material. This is my understanding of the jackets t...

BrandonA18

Hi Nebraska,

We had asked whether he was sharing jackets with Harrison Ford, or whether a specific jacket was made just for him, for the stunt sequences. He said that one was made specifically for him (to be used in the film - not to take home.)

Brandon

BrandonA18

Hi,

His jacket was returned to the costume department. Terry did not keep anything from the film, other than his crew (Baseball style) hat!

Brandon

BrandonA18

Sorry - what I meant was that I chatted with Terry outside of what is contained in this interview, and he confirmed that he never owned a jacket from the film. I know there has been talk in the past that Terry auctioned off a jacket and he says this is not correct.

Best,
Brandon

BrandonA18

Hi all, I thought you might enjoy this interview we conducted recently with legendary stuntman Terry Leonard. He describes his work on Raiders, and touches briefly on the jacket (Terry never owned a jacket used in the film, BTW.) http://www.propstore.com/terryleonard.htm" onclick="window.o...

BrandonA18

Hi all, The photos in the other thread which is linked above were taken in the Lucasfilm Archives during publicity for the IJ Blu Ray release. It is not necessarily the same costume that will appear in the V&A museum. Although of course it could be. I can tell you that we have loaned some materi...

Hi all,

The Hi-Power photographed in the Making Of book was indeed used during filming. See this thread:

Are there any additional photos that I could take that would help ID the maker? This whip was actually used for a brief scene in the film "Inglourious Basterds" where Stiglitz is whipped. As the film was shot in Germany, perhaps the whip was sourced there? Thanks for the assistance. Best B...

BrandonA18

Hi all I recently picked this up, which is similar in style to an Indy whip though I'm not sure it was mean to be an Indy whip per se. Does anyone know who made this bullwhip? http://propstore.com/img/products/916/Whip1.jpg http://propstore.com/img/products/916/Whip2.jpg http://propstore.com/img/pro...

BrandonA18

Hi all, We recently displayed an original Raiders of the Lost Ark special effects bullwhip at San Diego Comic Con. The whip is built around a steel cable for strength. I know that many Indiana Jones fans are aware of these whips, but I don't think one has previously been showcased. You can see the w...

BrandonA18

Hi all, We actually have the Colt 1911s mentioned in this article. They were originally considered for use by Ford, but ultimately were used by Dovchenko, Spalko's right-hand man. These were brand new guns that were modified to fire blanks for the film. http://www.propstore.com/product-Dovchenko-s--...

BrandonA18

Hi guys

It's really hard to read the manufacturer under the rear site. It looks like it starts with "UNC" and ends with "OD". Not sure if that makes any sense.

If you'd like to know anything else about it, just let me know and I'll be happy to try and help.

Regards
Brandon

BrandonA18

Would that be the jacket known as the 'Kurtz' jacket you are referring to? no I think he is refering to this 'raiders' jacket. http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g182/indianaholt/butterfieldandwested.jpg Correct - I was referring to the jacket on the right. I would also be curious to hear if anyone ...

BrandonA18

Hi guys, I haven't read this whole thread, but just wanted to touch on something I've mentioned here before. Has anyone confirmed that the jacket auctioned by Bonhams and Butterfields was truly a film jacket? I know doubt has been cast over this piece before in the collecting community. Does anyone ...

BrandonA18

Hi all, As mentioned, the Last Crusade serial number can be seen on screen. We were able to use that to locate the exact piece at Bapty several years ago. I can also tell you that 3 Webley's were used in the production of Crystal Skull. One went to Spielberg, one to Ford, and the other we had a few ...

BrandonA18

Hi all,

This piece will not be for sale as it is part of the Prop Store Company Collection. Please see here for more of the collection:

Good observation Terry! During filming, this rifle had an full-auto sear installed, making it an M2 carbine. As this type of firearm is far more difficult to transfer, the M2 sear (which is registered on its own, with its own serial) was removed from the piece. Every other part of the rifle - the re...

BrandonA18

Hi all, I thought COW would enjoy a first look at an item we have in our Prop Store company collection. This is the actual M1 Carbine that Harrison Ford used in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This weapon was rented to the film production by a Hollywood armory. The rifle is seen ...

BrandonA18

Well, I'd be curious to hear if either jacket has been matched.

Is there any provenance behind the Butterfield's jacket? I believe I saw the catalog once and there was no mention of Martin Grace. Where has that connection come from?

Regards
Brandon

BrandonA18

Hi all, I thought this thread was a very interesting read. I am not an expert on jackets or the vocabulary that now goes along with them, but I can relate to the frustration of trying to pin down things like this. Our experience has always been that there were very few multiples used in these early ...

BrandonA18

Hi guys,

Is there any confirmation that the jacket sold at that auction is authentic? Has anyone screen matched?

Best,
Brandon

Hi guys, It's certainly possible that the property master could have sourced a rubber gun from elsewhere. In my opinion it looks more like a real firearm than a rubber gun. Rubber guns in that era were more crude than they are today. Since we know they had a 5" real S&W on set, and this one...

BrandonA18

Yes, I believe all of the shots of Ford firing were done in California. Interestingly, the guns were rented on August 25 1983, and returned September 12, 1983. On December 1st, 1983, the production rented the 5" S&W and the 4" Colt again. They were returned December 15. I'm guessing th...

BrandonA18

Hi guys, It's tough to get better screen captures without a Blu-Ray. I have a few unpublished Raiders stills that show with absolute certainty that a low-site, no thumbprint pistol was used in the Raven bar. I cannot put these online, but if anyone is in the LA area you can come by our office and se...

BrandonA18

Hi guys, Very nice work with the photo comparisons. Stembridge did not rent any rubber guns to the production. It is always possible the prop master could have acquired a rubber gun elsewhere, but my guess would be that the "drop gun" is the real 5" barrel S&W that was rented to t...

BrandonA18

Hi guys, I wanted to chime in here as this is another one I have researched extensively. Film armorers almost always have two examples of a given firearm on set, in case one breaks down or malfunctions. This is especially true for automatic style pistols, which have to be specially modified to work ...

BrandonA18

Hi guys, Some 720p screencaptures here. To me the barrel on the gun that goes out the window looks longer than 4". It's also possible that it's one gun inside of the car, and another for the "drop shot." http://propstore.com/img/products/916/TODrevolver1.jpg http://propstore.com/img/p...

BrandonA18

1. You said that the guns rented for TOD included the WG, S&W .38 5" and Colt .38 4". Were any other guns rented that may even have possibly been used by HF in the car? If not, the gun in question must be the Colt, as it clearly has no swivel. Perhaps the reason the gun barrel may app...

BrandonA18

Hi all, Perhaps I can shed some light on the gun used in Temple of Doom, as I have spent some time researching the matter with Syd Stembridge. First on the Raiders guns. The "Stembridge" revolver is a real revolver and of course capable of firing. The term "non firing" probably c...
