hi Gang, I'll post a pic and meas. of original bag in a few days as it is currently on display in the "Warehouse 53: Museum Exhibit of Adventures in the Cinema" at the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, Hammondsport, NY. Just got to get my photobucket account reactivated.

Just a note - these fees are per Federal/International Regulations and based on the value of the item. I periodically have items shipped here from overseas and the gov. has been cracking down on UPS, Fedex and other shippers to collect. It's your govs. at work not the shippers. As a non-profit museu...

Greetings Folks,
Minn. Jones owns the original screen-used ToD holster and it is plugged.

I own the original screen-used LC holster and it is plugged.

Curator Rick

Sounds Great, I'd really love to nail down the actual production history of my screen-used Webley. The more documentation on an item the better!

"Internet Archeology" I love it!!!!

Curator Rick

The original screen-used gun was made in the late 20s. I've not been able to nail down actual production dates but some info I found stated these were not produced after 1927. Can anyone locate the prod. dates? The most interesting bit of side history to the screen-used gun is that it was purchased ...

Curator Rick

Sure makes one's head spin and stomach turn! :roll: bottom line is in today's culture many folks can find a way of justifying their actions when there is a personal gain to be had regardless of who it hurts. Working in the museum field I actually run into this type of thing constantly. You'd be surp...

Curator Rick

Angels supplied the German uniforms, equipment for both Raiders and LC. not to mention the fezs for the grail brotherhood and the other uniforms, equipment for LC. Also Brit. and Indian uniforms for ToD ](*,) Someone with a sharp eye and photographic memory is gotta find something Indy in all those ...

Curator Rick

I forgot to take photos!

Curator Rick

I had the pleasure of being presented by GraverobberGreg and Bufflehead Jones a Peter Bros. Fedora a few years back. This very hat once graced the noggin of Michaelson. :M: My younger brother and Rosetta Stone's uncle, Col. Stephen B. Leisenring, US Army, has just been promoted to Brigadier General....

Curator Rick

Will do!

Curator Rick

Kao Kan's revolver is in fact a S & W .32 nickel plated with PEARL GRIPS. It was rented from Bapty's along with Chen's Webley. At the moment we are working on discerning which S&W in the armory was the exact one used, as a portion of Bapty's documenting paper work for many of their firearms ...

Curator Rick

Never got an MO jacket .BUT, I still have my white Nehru jacket!!

And a couple of pairs of bell bottoms

Curator Rick

Boy, just think - in ten years they'll be arguing over whether Spalkos out fit was light glue or blue/grey or (as things fade with age) green/ grey

Love ya Stella. ;-)

Curator Rick

OK here goes. Edith Head was in charge of costumes. Those not made for the production were pulled from the Paramount Wardrobe Dept. not Western Costume Co. Harry Steele's outfit Hat (was not a fedora) - Australian military hat (late 40s, early 50s model). This particular model had a peculiar "d...

Curator Rick

This is really a grey area isn't it.

I've seen two original shirts and they both had Western Costume Co. labels in them. The one Noel has I believe has a Western Costume label in it also.

Curator Rick

GregrobberGreg's got a great 1950's wristwatch. He needs to post a pic of it. As a matter of fact he got his from the same source as mine.

Curator Rick

I happen to wear a 1936 Gruen Curvex wrist watch

Now where in the world did the darn thing come from

I'll think of somewhere along the line. Begins with and M ah...Mick,Matt ..naw that's not it, darn!!

Curator Rick

Thanks GraaL, ya beat me to it.

Bink and I are getting together shortly to do a photo shoot of about 20 screen used props and I'll post more detailed photos of the Webley III in a separate thread so it can be "stickied"

By the way, it is .38 cal.

CR

Curator Rick

The Webley in Last Crusade was supplied by Bapty as filming took place in England and Tunisia. Since Crystal Skull was filmed in the States it is highly unlikely that the revolver was rented from Bapty, but more likely from one of the Armories in California. So the odds of it being the same Webley f...

Curator Rick

Eeeuuuwwww, nasty! I hate dirt. Now Fullers Earth is OK.

Curator Rick

I know, it's one of the pins that Mutt wears on his motorcycle jacket!

Curator Rick

I'd like to throw my CONGRATS in here to the both of you also!! :clap: :clap: I've now had the pleasure of working with both of you and must say that if the corporate world behaved more like you two I think our economy would be in better shape :lol: Marc, again I'd like to thank you publicly for don...

Curator Rick

all this talk about BLADDERS

Sounds like a personal problem. But actually, when have we ever seen Indy drink from a canteen? He prefers a bottle.

Curator Rick

Gotta through my two cents in here. :lol: When I was a cast member in Gettysburg two identical conf. officers coats were made for my character. Both at a glance looked the same but on closer scrutiny, there were major differences, collar size, button placement, etc. Reason?- two different seamstress...

Curator Rick

:shock: \:D/ :clap: OK, I know I'm alittle slow on the post but I've been out on "sick leave". I have been waiting for this since I bought the Venice suit waaaaay over a year ago. :lol: Now the question is - Suspenders, does it come with suspenders??? Still need to hold up the pants. Do I ...

Curator Rick

Great bikes :tup: , we have the same types here at the Curtiss Museum that was out on the floor for last years FL Summit. The top or first bike pictured is a Columbia Shaft drive bike made between 1897 and 1900. Ours here is the ladies version. The second bike is identical to our 1899 Waverly Ladies...

Curator Rick

Nice touch putting the recycle emblem in the photo

That should help keep the beaver loving enviromentalists happy 8-[
Great hat by the way

Curator Rick

I LOVE MY WESTED!!!!!! No complaints here (and you'll never hear one from me either)and I wear it every day to the museum. It is a GREAT privilege to own one and as close as I'll ever get to the real thing (screen used that is)

CR

Curator Rick

Hi Platon, I'd prefer not to say.

My daughter's lurking around and she knows this is her inheritance!

Don't want her to hurry things along. 8-[

Curator Rick

Yea, it was a shame but it came out of Bapty and they deactivated all the handguns they sold in a large group to Propstore of London. Other than the blemish on the bottom of the barrel it's a beautiful piece. It also comes with all of the records of use to prove it is a ToD gun. It just goe to show ...

Curator Rick

Her Royal Majesty required it be deactivated when sold :cry: That's what the mark on the bottom of the barrel is from. :x But all in all it is a great find! Thanks all, I'll be building up a major display it will be in and hope to take it to events in '08 for all to see. along with the other orig. I...

Curator Rick

Finally got it

thanks Strider!!!

Curator Rick

Sorry about that

Can't get the pic to post!

Curator Rick

Ok Gang, I've got to share this with you all. \:D/ I've just purchased the screen used Webley Mk. III nickle plated Comm. Contract pocket revolver that Chen ( Lao Che's son) shoots Wo Han with during the Champaigne cork popping scene in Club Obi Wan. 8) Here's a pic of it: http://i7.photobucket.com/...

Curator Rick

Gee Tony, I can't quite read the small print

But I'll buy a Washington tie to pay the bills for the VENICE tie!

Boy, is my wife gonna' think I've gone off the deep end! After all these years of hatin' ties I'm buying them and looking forward to the next one?

Curator Rick

The poll says Venice for the next one

Curator Rick

Hey Tony

any new updates on the tie project? I really would love a Venice Tie to complete my suit.

And then a Washington Tie to go with the suit I'm in the final stages of ordering.

Curator Rick

Don't forget that as styles change over the years so do the sizes. A good example is the fact that we tend to wear less layers today than 50 years ago. While I wear a size 38 jacket by todays standards I really need a 40 to wear over the shirt, undershirt and vest or sweater I might wear to meet the...

Curator Rick

Yeh, and you could sell a voice modulater like they used in Mission Impossible :wink: Of course I want a Sean Connery voice replicator so I can watch my wife melt all over the floor when I ask her what's for supper instead of the usual dirty look! :lol: Found the suit!!! :shock: , working on the tie...

Curator Rick

Go, Venice Go!!!

Curator Rick

Actually with my uncounted vote for the Venice tie it is climbing up the list

As a matter of fact I do believe its beating out both bow ties

$\:D/$ Ohboy I 'm gonna get a tie for my birthday

Curator Rick

I vote for the Venice Tie. But ya had ta go and add it to the list AFTER I voted so my vote don't show up no how.

(Rememer folks, "vote early and vote often!!")

Curator Rick

I don't see the Venice tie on the list!

Curator Rick

Any of you mad hatters want to try your hand at making your own felt? :twisted: I've shot six beaver this summer and still had another family of them move in on the property in their place. We've had the ### torn down twice this year. Now we've got river otters moved in on the land too. :shock: How ...

Curator Rick

Ya know... Magnoli just might have to go into the tie business to enhance the sales of his suits

Really, when you think about it the tie makes the look complete. Tony, just one more morsal to throw onto your already over flowing plate.

Curator Rick

Thanks VP for the link. In that shot there is a pattern in the weave I hadn't seen before. The Catacomb close ups I have don't show a pattern :? With my luck there's probably two diff. ties as the interior shots were filmed in Eng. with the exterior shots in Venice. However the Walmart tie is the ri...

Curator Rick

After obtaining Magnoli's fantastic "Venice Pier" suit, I have been on a fruitless quest for the perfect screen accurate tie to go with it. :( Until tonight :shock: Yes folks, Walmart does it again. 8) While in the mens clothing section checking for more elusive Faded Glory shirts to conve...

Curator Rick

OK, Tony I have an Orig. YIJC Austrian uniform costume jacket and helmet worn by SPF in the Northern Italy July 1918 episode where he helps deserters across the lines. I'll work on sending pics if you'd like.

Curator Rick

Chamber fires are quite common. Had all the chambers go off at once on my Colt Dragoon. The recoil nearly broke my wrist.
The Colt revolving Rifle was short lived during the Civil War as when multiple chambers went off you lost the fingers of your left hand.

Curator Rick

The top pic is actually from Christie's Auction Cat., that's the TOD whip Ford put up for a charity auction.
