Nailed it !! Looks fantastic !!

Thanks Cajun and LNBright, I'll look into this. LNBright how did you attach the sight to the barrel ?? I'm going to reach out to some locals and see what I can get done nearby, I have a feeling for what I want I'm going to have to send it out. Please keep the suggestions coming and the conversation ...

Hey guys, I'm throwing the towel in and going to have my WWI hand ejector cut down to 4" and have the sight modified to match the Bapty ( ramp sight) any suggestions ?? Also where can I get the sight ?? Thanks

micsteam

I'm indifferent, Stembridge might have had the gun in inventory or modified it to be somewhat matching the Bapty, I don't consider the Stembridge the " Hero gun ". What I am positive about is that it's an US S&W hand ejector could be M1917 or commercial model.

I'm just putting this out there, if it hasn't been stated/covered before. When they made Raiders, George wanted the movie/story to be made, and Steven wanted to show the studios that he could make a movie on time and on or under budget ( I believe Raiders was under budget). They predominantly filmed...

micsteam

Good to know about Alex Ruggeri at Morgan Whips, I would've thought left over or newly made whips by Jacka from KOTCS.

micsteam

and maybe two hands to fire the revolver to blow out the lock on the cockpit canopy on the flying wing, funny how the memory starts getting rusty after 50... lol.

micsteam

Oh wait, that's not correct, he uses two hands to fire the Browning Hi-Power in the Raven Bar.

micsteam

Not sure whose gun Indy uses but the pistol he uses is a p-38, lot of those in the movie. First time I see Indy use two hands to fire a pistol though.

micsteam

Hey guys,
long time since I've posted, what's everybody's opinion on the best SA Raiders holster ??

micsteam

Just for info, Raiders was not filmed in sequence that the final cut/movie is shown. Filming started in LaRochelle France, Tunisia, then Hawaii (Peru scenes), and pick ups in the states ( Pan Am clipper). Harrison, stand ins, and stuntmen all used different fedoras for different shots and different ...

micsteam

I would say probably, for collectors especially, the .455 which was produced for the British military in WWI but in lesser numbers than the .45 which was issued to U.S. and British/Allies alike.

micsteam

I have an Everyman and I LOVE IT !!! For a rabbit factory fedora you can't beat it, mine is quite stiff but reacts to brim manipulation and just looks the part. I have an Adventurebilt by Steve Delk and a couple of John's other fedora's and this always my go to especially if I want the Raiders look....

micsteam

I remember when Cooper came out, I had a mail order catalog back in the day. I never had a jacket by them but boy this looks like a really nice jacket, not in love with the price but if I had free funds I'd consider !

micsteam

There were a few whips for Raiders that, mainly, were supplied by the stunt coordinator Glenn Randall. He trained Harrison Ford how to use the whips and supplied them from his own collection of Dan Morgan whips. I don't believe/not sure all whips came from Mr. Randall, I would imagine for stunt sequ...

micsteam

Ha... I remember back maybe in the mid to late 80's you could buy these Garands surplus for $25 in the ads in the back of Guns and Ammo and magazines of the sort. You didn't need a license because it was considered a rifle. Now they are gold. Just saying. Nice pieces everybody keep bringing them. :T...

micsteam

jgino, when you buy a hat/fedora make sure you know your hat size, I recommend you do so for a fact as this can be quite an expensive endeavor, your mistakes are not everyone else's. Also, when you get into this hobby, fandom, cosplay don't sandbag your constituents acknowledge where you got your th...

This an old thread about a guy says he is making hats for Herbert Johnson whom is the hat/fedora makers of the first three movies. Club Obi Wan/ Indygear has said that Herbert Johnson is not as good, lamens terms, as the original hat made for Raiders by them since 1981, didn't like them for years th...

micsteam

Hi all, Michaelson, the fact that you seemed to need to give me a very detailed rebuff says a lot, if this was a lot of BS you would've not payed much attention. I never talked about Garrison Hatters, which is now defunct/out of business, and has or had no bearing on our conversation which was never...

micsteam

Here you go Michaelson, Mulceber, Eazybox as per our September 2017 conversation quoting from our own forum: " I saw this on HJ’s FB page this morning... It is with a heavy heart that we at Herbert Johnson Hatters bring the following news and warnings to our fans and followers. It has been brou...

I have one, WWI era, Canadian military I picked it up on Ebay for $30.00. They know what they have, you can score one somewhere else for less, $225.00 is to expensive.

micsteam

Thank you indygr for your comparisons from your collection !! I know Magnoli and they make very nice products so I will look into that. I'm curious as to what Wested's latest pants look like. IndianaJustin, I haven't had a pair of WPG's pants but the only problem I've seen from them in the past is t...

micsteam

Now that Todd's Indy pants/trousers are no longer available.. which are the best now ?? I've had Wested's before (purchased in 2006) but I wasn't entirely happy with them as far as color, buttons and fit but I understand they've come out with a different design now. I'm looking for a pair in Raiders...

The S&W and Colts that went overseas to Britain/Europe/Allies ( lend lease) whether in .45LC or .455 did see machining ( cutting the cylinder down) so these revolvers could fire .45ACP ( with half moon clips three to side/two clips to a full cylinder) which was in abundance for manufacturing in ...

micsteam

Nice collection lostinperiphery !! I have a WWI HE2 .455 shaved cylinder to .45 ACP as well. I can't cut this beauty down to a 4" as it served at the Somme in 1915 but I did have a Raider holster made for it. Thank you for showing the differences in the fames between a K frame and an N frame in...

WOW !!!! That is too COOL !!!!

micsteam

Sorry, I've not been on this thread in awhile. I'm just reading previous posts, I'm perplexed. Why are we discussing HJ and Advintage hats on a " Penman post 'em up " thread ?? Please don't come back at me with production time, most of these hatters are individuals and, if successful, are ...

micsteam

There's two US made revolvers produced in quantity for WWI, both were made for civilian and police/government use with their own designations ( Colt New Model/S&W Hand Ejector) and then their military designation which was M1917 ... the distinction was M1917 Colt and M1917 S&W both in .45 ca...

Hey RayROnline, when did Robert Picardo stop by your place for pic op ??? NICE !!! I love my Steele and Jones Cazadora '36.

Hey ChrisMD, naw I don't think he was as impressed with the p-38 as he couldn't believe he shot three Germans with one bullet !!! Lol !!! My toss in the ring is for auto: 1911A1 and wheel gun: 4"-6" Colt or Smith in large caliber prob .45. The revolver, at least back in Indy's days, was mo...

Thanks Diego !! I'll try some slow technique on the inside to test. Is ok to use Picards ?? Let me know, thanks.

micsteam

Check Ebay, you can also check the prop makers section here on COW. If you're interested, and you follow this thread, I can /I've made some suggestions as far as cap/blow back replicas where to get them, they can be expensive. Either way, mind what The Character has stated, make sure you put an oran...

Diego, I just PM'd you now, thanks.

micsteam

Hi Diego, I'll send it through my email to you now. Thanks

Actually Indy carries a Webley Green model in .455 in Last Crusade and KOTCS, it is very similar to the MK VI but has a birds head grip. When it comes to Indiana Jones firearms you can be liberal he's carried an WWI S&W .45 hand ejector, Colt New Model .45 (for you Indiana Bond), Browning 9mm Hi...

micsteam

Hi Tinplatejeff, I have a Cazadora '36 in Ribby Merino by S&J and I have to say it is great !! It is a thin hide/leather that you can wear in warmer climates but won't hold up to anything colder than high 40 degree weather. It is a thin leather but I have to tell you it sits well on me, no flyin...

Mulceber, I'm trying to keep this cool headed. You don't know what I'm talking about and/or can't relate and that's ok but you have a weak argument... we are talking about a.. " HAT " .. not people !! As much as we have a passion for certain things, humanity comes first, sorry if I have to...

I don't know Garrison's turn around time or price but go to his website garrisonhatters.com to find out or contact him, I know John Penman at penmanhats.com has a wait list but $105 full reblock but he's got a connection with Steve at AB so you might get a price decrease but you'd still have to call...

micsteam

IndyFan89, you're getting good advise.. yes I'd try David Garrison or John Penman. If the hat in question was worn in wet weather it can shrink to, FYI.

The Chachapoyan temple/idol grab scene was filmed towards the end of principle photography(Hawaii)/end of production so I'm saying they used newer costume items (fedora, holster, jacket, etc.).
