K, I'm going to give your holster a shot, but I'm having trouble tracking down some leather. Where do you guys find you leather pieces?

Mojave Jack

Update!

Baggers has just warned me that there is some question as to the legitimacy of this site or of their business practices. He has cautioned me to do some close research before buying. I'll ask him to step in here to provide a ltitle more detail.

Just got a lead on a couple of great blank firing options for Indy guns: WWII Guns I don't know if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find in in a search.

I have their Victory Model holster, and like it a lot. The quality is definately there, it fits my Model 10 perfectly, and has a nice russett shade to it.

Mojave Jack

That is a seriously good looking blank gun, JW! Good find!

The odd thing is, you could get two real Model 10s for that price!

Kodiak; The hat is an HJ and a photo borrowed from a fellow COW member, I hope he doesn't mind.

I have a great source of dirt, and it's free (my backyard)! http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/MojaveJack/BullionMountainssm.jpg I have trouble keeping the stuff off my gear.

For those of you that have used the Pecards with brown tint to darken leather, have any of you had any trouble with the color coming off on other stuff? I recently redyed a pair of boots, and the dye keeps coming off on the cuffs of my pantlegs (and on my tuckus when I sit on my heels!). I want to d...

Mojave Jack

This is EXACTLY what Pecards was originally created for...restoration by museums of old leather. You're right on the mark here! Not to be contrary, Knower of Things, as you are a constant source of wisdom and knowledge, but actually, dressings are the enemy of leather museum pieces. Museum professi...

Beautiful! I don't see a pit or a nick on that thing! Must have been kept by a little old lady in Pasadena, who only shot it on Sundays.

It's quite the eye-opener to see how much of the Indy films was based off the Brady Bunch. Tiki Idol? Nurhachi? Indy? Pleated shirt. Archaeologist? Dr. Whitehead? Pleated jacket. Archaeologist. I thought it might be a hoax had I not remembered they cut the whole surfing competition 'mishap' at the ...

Mojave, I do love your sense of humour. Unfortunately, it was "Leave Your Humour At Home Day" at work today.' :roll: Come to think of it, I DID wonder where they came up with the spider idea in Raiders... GREG!!!!! Aww... Thanks, Bink :oops: I love you, too...I mean, I love your humor ......

Mojave Jack

"The memories just come flooding back, monkey. Greg fell off his board.....they couldn't find him! They cliff-hung me on that episode and I had to wait until next time! It was horrible, monkey. Just horrible. How did Greg hold his breath for a whole week? I....I need another drink." http:...

Mojave Jack

Bink, that's not nearly as funny as it originating in a Brady Bunch episode! All those serious facts and things, oh, boy.

OK, so my sense of humor is...warped. That just means I fit right in around here!

Mojave Jack

I think I've found the stylistic inspiration for Indy's shirt. Whilst watching some quality Brady Bunch the other day, the Tiki Caves episode came on. You know, where Greg, Peter, and Bobby have to go to the cave to return the bad luck tiki to the grave of the Hawaiian king. There they run into craz...

I agree Hanson, it looks too small to be an N-frame. From what I can see in the pics it looks to be an old model 10. I think I can make out ".38 S&W Special" on the barrel. Do you know what caliber it is? Anywho, if its an old .38 like I think it is then no, its not the same as Indy's...

Since Indy served on the line in WWI, he probably would have been issued one of these razors that were issued to the AEF: http://www.aefsupply.com/shave1.jpg http://www.aefsupply.com/shave2.jpg Since he was obviously fond enough of his hand ejector, he may have kept on using his issue razor, as well.

Mojave Jack

I think the piece your talking about is the Thunder Ranch Model 22.

Very nice! Thanks for giving us a heads up!

Mojave Jack

I think I have to agree with Hemingway on this, although honestly I don't think the liner looks that bad. That stitching at the ends is definately an issue, as that will almost certainly start to pull out. It seems like you might be able to get away with just having that section fixed by a cobbler, ...

I'll have to keep that in mind! Half price would be pretty decent!

Mojave Jack

Anyone interested in a decent close-enough might want to check out J Crew. The Duxbury Ruggeds are pretty decent, and still about half the price of Aldens. The sole is wrong, of course, and the collar is padded a bit, but not a bad looking boot.
