I have never owned Aldens, but my Farnums are the most comfortable shoe I have EVER owned!

Turned on the tv this morning and there was a segment on CBS Sunday morning about the history and hopeful comeback of mens hats. The first movie clip they showed was Jimmy Stewart ftom Mr. Smith Goes To Washington and the next clip was Indy from Raiders. Pretty cool segment about celebrities bringin...

Are you saying you wouldn't let anyone touch your hat or are you refering to BendingOaks' comment? Lol! Just kidding BendingOak!

Exactly....Depends on how beautful she is! Lol!

Wraith1031

I think it looks pretty darn good McFly!

Wraith1031

The hack feature on this watch is very cool also! If you don't know what that means it is so you can stop the second hand on the watch when you set the time and that way soldiers could synchronize their watches for military tactics.

Wraith1031

Got my watch in today and must say that it is pretty darn cool! Here are some pics for anyone interested.

Wraith1031

It's originally a $150 watch. Well worth the price of $90 I think!

What would make a good pounce bag? Cheesecloth? Any ideas?

Wraith1031

It's basically a re-issue of that style.

Wraith1031

WOuld the lotion be better and add wieght or just be better for the jacket?

Wraith1031

Would using regular Pecards give this jacket the wieght it needs or would that be to much?

Wraith1031

Well....I guess like my headline says Has anyone tried this yet?

Wraith1031

Thanks DR Ulloa! I had it in a drawer for years and this thread made me realize it was part of my familys history that I needed to get in good working order and plus it is really neat to carry a watch that my great uncle carried. I got a ton of compliments on it at work last night also!

Wraith1031

I finally got my Elgin pocketwatch back from being serviced and having a new crystal put in and it looks great! Runs like a top! What do you guys think?

Wraith1031

Yeah, I immediately wanted one! One jacket at a time.....one jacket at a time....

I was watching the movie Leatherheads(the new George Clooney movie about the beginnings of pro football) and Clooney is wearing this really cool, really distressed leather jacket and I am sitting there trying to decide what kind of leather it is by the way it moves and drapes, and wondering what the...

Wraith1031

Actually that is kinda what I have been pondering.... It's not really that rough anyway, its kinda grown on me with it's originality and history!

Wraith1031

LOL!

Wraith1031

Yeah Im really happy I acquired it! On top of that for free! Just goes to show you never know whats around the next corner..... or in the drawer under your nose covered up by old bed linen! Lol!

Wraith1031

Well, I found out that Fiocchi still makes ammo for this gun! So after I get it checked out and ok'd I'm definitely going to have to get some ammo and take it to the range! Also I had my first experience with Pecards tonight and all I have to say is WOW! :o That is definitely some awesome stuff! I d...

Here is what I found out so far. The French standard issue weapon was the Pistole Revolveur Modele 1892. It was manufactured by numerous state-owned factories and also in Belgium and Spain. Popularly referred to as either the 'Lebel' or 'model d'Ordonnance' it resembled the British Webley, although ...

Wraith1031

Anyone know what caliber these things were?

Wraith1031

Hence the M'le 1892.... Yeah....I'm real bright today huih? Lol!

Wraith1031

So I am at my grandmothers house yesterday and she asked me what I have been up to and I tell her other than work getting together my Indy gear. She ask what all I still needed and when I told her about my search for a S&W 1917 or a Webley, she says "You know....your step-grandfather brough...

Wraith1031

Have spent the last two days walking around a home show with my wife and decided, what better time to break in my new Farnums......
I cannot believe how comfortable these freakin things are! I was really worried that I was going to regret wearing them, but it was just the oppisite! GREAT BOOTS!

Wraith1031

GOt em in yesterday along with my shipment from Pecards and my deluxe gunbelt and holster from Todds! I'm gonna be a leather conditioning-waterproofing-elbow grease using fool come this weekend! Lol!

Wraith1031

Yeah ron and his customer service staff are good people! I have nothing but praise for them!

Wraith1031

Any news yet?

Wraith1031

Maybe Magnoli sees it as an homage..... I have no problem with it. He doesn't try to pass it off as an original. Most replicas of ANYTHING are exact or as close to exact as the real thing they are replicating. So why not the 1942?

Wraith1031

Pulled the trigger myself! I think Im gonna like them!

Wraith1031

Have one coming myself! I can't wait! Hopefully since you got yours I will get mine within the next week!

Wraith1031

You thinking about offering these?

I have a 17 jewel Lord Elgin pocketwatch that is from the 30's that I am currently having serviced that belonged to my great uncle. I will post pics when I get it back. I thought it was wound to tight or something because sometimes it would run and sometimes it wouldn't. Turns out the watch repair g...

Went by yesterday evening and they didn't have any left. I thought I got the only one but wasn't sure. She had the bag that this post was started about and a few map case bags built like the courier bag I bought. She told me to check back and she should get some more at some point she thought. I'll ...

Wraith1031

Was it an old 1917 or the reissue that they started producing again?

Wraith1031

I don't think there were but will try to get by there this weekend and see.

Wraith1031

Indeed!

Wraith1031

Here is a link to pics of the French military messenger bag I picked up the other day. Like I said, even though I have a Magnoli bag on the way I just couldn't pass it up. I have a long walk from the parking lot where I work and this keeps my stuff from getting wet when it rains! It has come in very...

Wraith1031

I went to the AB website but I didn't see anything other than the hats offered for sale. Am I looking in the wrong place? Do I need to contact them directly by pm or email? Just wondering about finding out some more info such as pricing etc. on the holster.

Wraith1031

I think I am going back tomorrow to pick it up. Thanks All!

Wraith1031

I just picked up a french messenger type bag today for about 12.95 that has a leather strap and is completely leather lined inside except for the flap, and it hangs about where Indy's would on my hip. I have a Magnoli MK VII bag on the way but this was such an interesting find with the strap and bei...

Wraith1031

From what I understand commercial just means it was not made for the military.

Wraith1031

Ok, I went into a local gun store today and lo and behold in the used case is a S&W .45 acp pistol, swivel on the butt and all. Here is my delima it is NOT a 1917, the guy said it is basically the exact same gun but it is the commercial version and has a flat finish. He is asking $400 for it and...
