Not much more you can do to a dried up skeleton like that.

Or look at it through a crystal skull...

Is their phone number available? I need to buy at least two pair of frames. I've sat on my existing pair too many times and the frames are irreversibly damaged.

I found him and sent an eMail. Hopefully Indy gun number 2 will be on it's way soon.

And I paid for it but asked seller to not ship it right away, because I was traveling. My 3-week trip turned into 5 weeks and now I'm home, but I can't remember the COW member's name who sold it to me. If you (the seller sees this, please contact me ASAP to arrange shipping.

Thanks,

What a great acquisition and I'm glad that you found room for your new furniture. The hall tree is terrific and the desk is a great find, too. I was just in Los Angeles county last weekend. One night turned into four with a car breaking down on a Friday night.

As if this community never forgot, the AP just ran a story on how hats are popular again.

Thank you, Bruce Wayne, you're my Batman hero for today.

I would like to order from him, but my system doesn't want to work when I click on his "Email Me" link. I can't find him in a search for members. Can someone help me contact his so I can place an order? Existing stock is fine with me. Thanks in advance.

I actually have a pair of Paris pants that I got from Platon a number of years ago. No label but they look and feel great.

I've come back to the trumpet after a long dry spell, and want to learn piano on my keyboard, too. I hope to someday own a real piano, too. So if I learn to play it...

Thanks Alkali That sounds like great advice and I will take it to heart. After confirming stock of 9 mm snap caps, the store was sold out of them on the day of my class. I'll keep looking, but I saw the caps available for other caliber sizes. This looks like a new fun hobby. a lot of the gun range r...

Well, now I'm sorry that I didn't wear an Adventurebilt this morning. At our Monday morning 6:00 a.m. all staff meeting, the weather is always brought up and this is the first time I can say that I've seen the chance of rain at 100%. I know it has to be true. I just had my van washed on Saturday. A ...

I think I've added more gray hairs that need to be covered up in the nearly 3 years I've been waiting. I've sent numerous e-mails to Steve and none have been answered.

I just ordered a Penman Portable Hat Hook and I won't sacrifice vehicle safety by removing a head rest while driving. I'll take my hat off and use the portable hook in my van. In the S2000, there is no room behind the seat, so the hat goes in the trunk. In the MG, there are no head rests, so problem...

I can recall my English teachers, math teachers and music teachers most of all. I respect and honor them and am proud that I learned a few things from them, too.

Indiana MarkVII

I wouldn't worry too much, John. I'll be in line for a Penman the next time I'm looking for a hat. I have some ABs and AB Deluxe, so I am familiar with hand made hats, and I really can't wait to have one of your finest.

Indiana MarkVII

It's never bothered me to be in a minority. I love not being like everyone else. I wear my fedora proudly and happily. No gangster mentality needed. It just looks terrific. Classic style, not a slave to fashion.

Indiana MarkVII

I can't believe I need to order again!!!.. I ordered 4 pair last time, and in the past two weeks, one lace on each of three different pair of Alden or AB Aldens has broken on me, one time at work with no spare pair around. I guess I'll have to start carrying a pair of laces around. I just don't trus...

Great questions ANZAC_1915, These are points the instructor went over with me before and during my range time. He gave me one lesson to practice and we did it dry. He had me focus on the front sight, because he saw me dropping right before I fired, so the exercise was helpful. I did it fine dry, but...

Indiana MarkVII

Thank you. I'm learning a lot from you guys, and I appreciate your help.

Indiana MarkVII

I'm glad to hear that they don't make any noise, so I can practice at home (I'll be alone, too), but where do I buy some?

Indiana MarkVII

I wonder if my local gun store will carry snap caps? If not, where should I look for those? Are they as loud as real ammunition?

Indiana MarkVII

Thanks, Chewie. All my shots hit in the throat or torso area of the paper target. I'm going to try a little different holding position next time and bring the gun up to my left, dominant eye. I'll practice when I can dry unless dry firing is not recommended. I need to learn to squeeze and not antici...

Indiana MarkVII

I had my first time at an indoor range with an NRA instructor who also taught me how to disassemble my Inglis Mark I 9mm and clean it before we hit the range. It was fun but a little frustrating that I didn't always hit where I wanted to on the paper target. I, like Chewie, am right handed, but left...

Just look around on any public street. Dummys are everywhere.

I've had this pair, which look pretty much the same, ever since the pre-release photos came out for CS. After taking this quick shot just a few minutes ago, I see that my tape measure is not so accurate.

Indiana MarkVII

That made me laugh out loud. Thanks.

Indiana MarkVII

It does look great on you and I'm happy that you are so pleased with it. I, too, have an ABD and will be happy to be frozen in carbonite with it.

I'm shopping for an Smith and Wesson 1917 and found one with this descripion. Since I'm so new to handguns, I don't know if the price is good for this one. What do you guys think?

I'd love to see a hat on a poster.

To Solent MKIII, The seller had photos of this (Bowning) Inglis Mark 1 No.2 when it was listed in the Cairo Bazaar. It is out of his posession and at his FFL for shipping, which should be today. I hope to get it by the end of the week. I'll put up photos as soon as possible, unless the seller wants ...

I feel I need the training course. I did not grow up with firearms and only know that they shoot bullets (maybe BBs when I was younger at a friends' house or water from a squirt gun). I plan to educate myself so I'm not stupid about what I'm doing with a deadly weapon.

I just purchased my first handgun, a Browning Inglis Mark 1 No. 2 from a fellow member and I'm excited to hope to recieve it next week sometime. I never owned or fired a handgun before, although I have takend a shotgun class a few years ago. In preparation for firing it for the first time, I plan to...

I don't think you would have gone wrong either way. Color is your choice, so I'm glad that you are happy with it. I own both and use the Todd's/WPG bag with and upgraded strap that has softened with age and use. My Magnoli bag hangs for reference, but is a good choice, too, so you really can't go wr...

Jacket thread???? I want the route mapped out. It sounds like a trip I've been planning with my sweetie, except we'll start in San Diego or LA? Not sure of the time frame, though.

Indiana MarkVII

Welcome to COW with your first post, my sweetie. We just need to get your head measurement and put in the order.

Indiana MarkVII

No, I don't blame for trying. Good luck.

Indiana MarkVII

Wow, when I ordered my new colors in 2008, I had no idea it could take almost 3 years. I'm still patient, though, as my AB and AB Deluxe are so fine I can't imagine ever parting with them. No way am I going to give up my place in line at this point, so sorry, my friend.

Indiana MarkVII

Maybe you should just report him as suspicious and let eBay deal with it.

Indiana MarkVII

When I get a "permanent" job, I want one of those!

Indiana MarkVII

So did your co-workers and boss actually order some hats? If so, we will need to see some group shots of everyone in their hat one day.

Indiana MarkVII

It's not color blindness and the eye does not "record" color. It's the brain that does the interpretation and mind bending. It's what you've conditioned your brain to recall under certain hues. White balancing for photos and video are critical, otherwise, the outcome of photos or video pro...

John,

Please reserve that beaver felt, in that same color, with the same ribbon, if you can. How do you think it will look on a cute blond?

The one you made for the lovely lady in this thread is magnificant and very cute, too.

Mark

Indiana MarkVII

Oh, Travis, I am proud to own it. A first from Magnoli for me and for him. Maybe if enough people order one from him, he might be able to knock some off the price (taking a wild guess here). I put it on par with a custom made beaver hat like an AB or AB Deluxe, so if you want one just like it, don't...

Indiana MarkVII

Thanks, Dan, it is very comfortable to wear, too. But you definitely need to be wearing pants when you sit down while wearing this dressing gown. It is soft and has a wonderful feel. I look forward to getting it back from Indy Magnoli.

Indiana MarkVII

I got my Indy bow tie recently, but haven't had the time to practice with it yet. Yes, I'm also hoping to get three pice suit to go it it too, although didn't Indy wear a tweed jacket with it?

Indiana MarkVII

Indy Magnoli, these shots don't do the dressing gown justice. I think the photography might be overexposed or my at home lighting is really dim. In some angles, the fabric loooks more red to me and magically, as I turn it, it appears to be green, a perfect blend that seems to match Indy's dressing j...

Indiana MarkVII

My Magnoli's Indy Dressing gown has been returned to him for the professional photos he wants to take. Look for some nice shots of it soon, I hope.
