You have started a new debate. Is it grey or blue

But I like it.

Croft

Thanks. Lol. Those last two pictures are actually under a fluorescent light.

I am also a 44 and I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a standard off the rack Raiders Lamb from Wested. It’s a perfect fit. Excuse the Dirty mirror.

So surprisingly this beauty arrived today!!!! My new Kangaroo Leather 8 Feet Long 12 Plait BullWhip. It was expected on September 3rd. Excellent quality for the price:$60.00 on EBay. Cracks with ease. Definitely an upgrade from my previous whips. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190825/665eab00c44...

Yes. The top and bottom are. It's the Faux leather. The middle one is the Real Leather made by the same company that I wore at Pensacon.

After owning a Federation for 14 years. I decided to pull the trigger on a Fed IV. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190415/e2bb5861abe101a4b8f3587426f4fdec.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190415/7503e87201d342b77a473f313c93cd16.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190415/0c392f37bfb3ef44d...

That's what I used to make two straps for my Mk-VII and my Replica MK-VI.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sheffield Jones

If your not worried about it being a "reel " one, I used the plunger end off of a cheap caulking gun on my replica MK-VI. It looks pretty darn close.

Sheffield Jones

I know that someone that comes here works at Disneyland,but earlier this week my family and I were at Hollywood Studios in Florida (the 15 th to be exact).While taking shelter from the rain,an employee wearing a MK-VII (and whistling) came out of the downed "Sounds Dangerous with Drew Cary"...

Sheffield Jones

If you can find an old Matress,they used to have Vents/drains like these. As for the Disk,When I modified my replica MK-VI,I used the round plunger end of a Caulking Gun.It looks close enough.

Sheffield Jones

I have had my WPG Replica bag(which is the same,I think.) for about the same amount of time,and a Lawerance Ordnance Mk VI Replica for 2 years,which I alternate with the WPG Replica.Both are top notch,in my opinion,for replicas.

Sheffield Jones

You guys should charge General Admission.
Of course,that could be a Major Pain.

Sheffield Jones

WOW!!
That thing is Beautiful

.Depending on the price I too would be interested in one.
Great Job!!

A friend of the family has dubbed mine "The Murse".I can live with that but I prefer to call it my "European Carry-all".

I've got one of the Repro MK-VIs from Lawrance Ordnance in Sydney and it is more roomier(?)than my WPG Repro MK-VII and my Real Whitley MK-VII because it's a tad bit taller and wider(I did Swindy's little modification and turned the center divider into another small pocket).On a recent trip to Calif...

You may have to copy and paste.

Sheffield Jones

I added one of these lanyard loops to my WPG Bags.To me it improved it's over all look.I took the loop from my original Mk VII strap.

Sheffield Jones

I have also seen these vents on the sides of old matresses.Check with a bedding store to see if the have any laying around.
Hope this helps.

Sheffield Jones

Congratulations on your new Fed!!
I've had mine for 2 years and all I can say is that it gets better looking with age and wear.
Don't be afraid of these hats,they can take anything you can throw at (or on) it.
Wear it in good health,and enjoy.

Oh, and by the way I didn't trim mine either.

I found two pairs of the LL Bean pants at a local thrift store for $10.00 each,and on the day I decided to buy them they were having a half price sale so I ended up with the two pair for the price of one.

I believe it was Marc that had a pattern of the "Raiders" Holster on his site.

I Watched Raiders and have to say (with all due respect) the loop is screen accurate.You see it all through the Temple at the beginning clearly. It does,however,change size(Sometime making it look like it ain't there). I have therefore decided to add one to my WPG Bag. :wink: Does anyone have any sc...

What, the bit that everyone cuts off the originals to be screen accurate?

Do you mean the loop or the divider?
In this picture his bag has the loop,just above the little pocket with the eyelet.

Sheffield Jones

Jerry/wpg, is there the chance that your repro bags will have that missing divider put in?

And,What about the small lanyard loop on the front? I'd like to see that added.

Sheffield Jones

Steve,
Please accept my belated condolences to you and your wife,In the last two months my wife lost her Grand-father,and I lost my Grand-father so you have my prayers in this hard time.

Sheffield Jones

I wear mine turned,with scrap pieces of strap in front and back of the sweat band.

Sheffield Jones

I like the Tanis(h) ones.
I have one of last years WPG bags & a Real Whiteley bag and they are almost the same color.Both have rifle sling straps.
