Hey guys, I just want to mention that I just put up half a dozen rucksacks in the Bazaar for sale. Take a look.

thanks for your input. I've found a hat shop near me which sells foam stripping with sticky backing. I'm going to try them before I buy incase they don't fit. But i don't see why they shouldn't Glad to help. Something else to keep in mind is that the foam will conform to fit your head, or smoosh do...

Cammer

Typically a thin layer of open cell foam behind the hatband is used to bring the hat down to a more snug fit. It is similar to what is sold as weatherstripping. You may be able to find something like this at a local hardware or home improvement store. Just use the thinnest foam available.

Cammer

But the straps on the original were pleather weren't they? For all we know, these may be the same bags used for the film! ;) :P :lol: It is very close, but you can see from some of the close ups, as well as how the pack is colored, the way the fabric lays, etc., that this is not the same pack. You ...

Cammer

Overall, how would you rate this bag? I bought one of those about a year ago. It was not what I wanted in a bag. It is an inexpensive reproduction of the real thing that would not stand up to anything beyond use as a prop. If I were to compare them and rate the original German military pack as a &q...

Cammer, If it's any consolation, I'm takin' real good care of your pack!

I don't think that any Nazis are going to be messing with you! That's a pretty serious look.

Cammer

Does anyone still have a source for these bags? I'd definitely like to get one but I'm not quite sure if any sources are still available that we know of. I'd appreciate it if anyone could let me know if they have a line on another bag. Thanks. My only source was diligence and ingenuity. It took me ...

Cammer

No, you should post pics when you get a chance to do so. We all love the looks of these, and the one that I sent to you was one of the best that I have seen. It's definitely worthy of some good photos.

Cammer

Wow! I am just amazed at the interest that my old pack has generated Michael! Well done! :TOH: I am sincerely glad that I sold it to you. It has obviously given you a lot of pride and inspired many others as well. This is really good stuff. :D But now I'm starting to really miss my that nice pack th...

That is a GREAT idea.

If you decide you don't want it for any reason please feel free to send it back for a full refund! I am already having seller's remorse...

Cammer

Yeah, it's not black, and yeah it doesn't have the pinstriping, but it's the closest anyone's found with that type of head. Makes me wonder if they possibly picked this up and re-painted it, because I haven't seen one yet with that extra band of knurling below the main lamp head. Great find! It loo...

Cammer

This is too funny! I had no idea that selling my pack to Michael (Tundrarider) would create a whole new category for discussion. It is completely appropriate of course and is probably on par with the K vs X stitch debate, etc. Especially when all we have to go on are a very few fuzzy screenshots. Be...

Cammer

Just a quick update here - I have kept this quiet because I wasn't sure, but I have finally decided to sell my other pack. It is in similarly good shape as the one that Sithspawn bought from me, probably even better. It was the one that I was keeping for myself, originally thought to keep it forever...

Cammer

Would it be out of place here to mention that I have an extra pack that I'm selling? I have the posting up in the Bazaar. It's actually an Ebay listing so if you are interested please check it out. I will ship internationally. And I'm the lucky winner! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ Yes you are! I'll get it shippe...

Guys... you don't have to drill out the rivet. You are over thinking it. Just use a pair of wire cutter pliers and snip it off. It's not difficult. Slip the sharp edges of the wire cutter under the rivet head and squeeze. It takes about 5 seconds to remove one of those rivets. I did the same thing t...

OK, I found the same pack at a different dealer (I'll wait to post until I have received it ;) ) But here are some pics from another site: http://www.armynavydeals.com/asp/imageviewer.asp?SKU=NorFrmRuk&IMID=9407 The one I ordered was OD green. Pics are brown. I'll try to keep you posted...we'll...

Here is one for sale. It's a bit one the expensive side at 295 pounds though. Also it carries a bit of it's own movie history.

Apparently Indy wasn't the only movie character who was a fan of this backpack.

Seems that the price has gone up on these. If I remember correctly, these were selling for 2.99 about a year ago when I bought a few. Still a good deal at 4.97. Back then I also bought a couple of Finnish Gas Masks, mainly for the nice canvas bag they came in. The bag is excellent quality and very d...

Cammer

Use rubbing alcohol instead of water, and liquid shoe polish - the kind that applies with a sponge tipped plastic bottle. I use the cheap Kiwi brand in black and brown. Works really well.

Cammer

Great screen shot! Thank you.

Cammer

Sorry guys for not getting back on the thread sooner. I got that pant at a "local mall" (a used/secondhand store but not one of those nationwide thrift store). I think this is an older style that was issued by Dockers a few years back. Info on the pant..... Dockers Recode. 100% Micromatiq...

Cammer

Do you have the tags for the pants or a model number? I'm not able to find much online when I do a search for "dockers recode pants". I can't even find them on the Dockers website. What store did you buy them from? Can you give us any specifics on how to track them down?

Cammer

This is a bit of a late response to the question about my flashlight. Yes, is is an antique that I bought in a collection off of eBay a while back. There were several different styles and sizes in the batch, but that was the one that I wanted out of the set. I just checked the end cap and for some ...

Cammer

That's a great look Barcelona! It definitely works.

Cammer

My bag has the little eyelet/grommet and smooth faced snaps. The manufacturer is H&SONS. I bought it several months ago from Wested. It's been a great bag. I use it daily.

Cammer

Tandy leather, or any other leather supply company will be able to get you any number of replacements. You can also find them on Ebay. You can get them in various sizes so be sure of what you order. They are a very common item in leatherworking and are also referred to as screw posts as well as chic...

Cammer

...forget the people at the top of the list. If they can't get back to you in 2 days max, then so be it. Move on to someone who is actually anxious to get it and has the funds to get to you in a timely manner. You shouldn't have to wait any amount of time at all or be out anything for doing this fo...

Cammer

The picture is a profile picture but its facing to the left so the notch is not shown. I guess that's that. Do I dare say that it even settles the mystery as to where it came from? :-k :Plymouth: The thumbprint notch is not unique to the Inglis or the FN HP pistols. It was built into both of them a...

Cammer

That screen shot of the Inglis seems to really clinch the deal. But there is a third possibility - the frame could have been FN, with an Inglis slide fitted. That would have made the gun "officially" an FN but with the Inglis look. Just playing with my various pistols over the years I have...

I can't seem to find the 1130s without the palm patch anywhere online. I belive the 1130's I posted above have to be purchased directly from Wells Lamont and are only sold a dozen at a time. - I.C. I'm not sure about that. I just purchased a pair about two weeks ago off of an Ebay vendor that speci...

Cammer

The only problem with going with the Wells Lamont 1130 model is that not all of the 1130s have a straight thumb. As you can see from Tym's example here, and from my own personal experience, some 1130s have a keyhole thumb. I believe that the gloves that Indy wore had a straight thumb and no suede pa...

@ Cammer: Congratulations to your "new" backpack. It looks very good indeed and has some nice distressing already. ;-) The faded stamping inside your backpack reads "Deuter Augsburg", the issue number and the production year. Deuter is a quality backpack producer still "in ...

A couple of months back I began email correspondence with an internet aquaintance who lives in Herford, Germany. I mentioned the type of backpack that I was looking for and he mentioned that he thought he had one like it. He sent me a couple of pics and, sure enough, it looked exactly like the one t...

The HK straps are great quality leather and you can find them really cheap if you look around on the web, try Cheaperthandirt.com, but I have found them to be too short compared to an Indy MKVII strap Are you extremely tall? I find the HK slings are perfect for me (I'm about 5'5") and I even l...

Most folks have been great and very positive and I truly appreciate that (Thanks guys!!), but I should have been prepared to catch the inevitable sour grapes that were bound to head my way. However I remain too na...

Cammer

I'm partial to an HK rifle strap, but that's just me. ;-) I picked up a couple of HK straps a while back when I found them for something like 2 for $6 somewhere. I use the better of the two for a strap on a Finnish gas mask bag I keep around for odds'n'ends. The HK straps are great quality leather ...

Cammer

I am willing to offer you $30 for these Aldens. Think about it, you will double your investment! :whip: Hmm... that is VERY tempting. :roll: How about instead of my Aldens you give me $30 for the rusty screwdriver I found buried in the dirt next to my garage last summer? It's still pretty good exce...

Cammer

That is totally awesome! Can we get some comparison pics of color? I would be glad to, except that the colors are currently identical. I used Kiwi brand liquid brown shoe polish, followed by a good soaking with Pecards shoe oil on my first pair and they now look just like the other pair. So if you ...

Cammer

The replica bags use thicker attachments, but the actual canvas that comprises the bag itself isn't as sturdy as the original densely woven canvas. In fact, once the original bags have become saturated with water they will hold water quite well if you plug up the drain holes. That old style canvas w...

They are nice..they would be even nicer if they had black soles and all-black stitching 8) This is really a non-issue guys. The stitching and the leather portion of the soles can be easily darkened with a coat of black liquid shoe/boot polish. It only takes about 5 minutes to do this. I did it on a...

Unless you have an inside line to cheap leather and already own the tools to work the leather, you are best off just buying the MKVII strap from one of our vendors who frequent the site. Todd does make a great strap, but after owning both of them I find that I prefer the one I purchased from Wade Eg...

Schmidty is quite an expert when it comes to fitting these boots. You may want to give him a call. You can find his contact information in this thread - viewtopic.php?t=28293&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
