I am somewhat curious about the value of the HJ... I picked one up years and years ago from Magnoli - So it was a HJ fedora that was then sent off to Steve Delk who worked his magic on it. It has been sitting in a glass display cabinet all these years and I may let it go.. but the only one I have se...

OK... disregard the last post.... found them on the site.. kinda makes sense now.. after looking at borntorun's pack (with the busted buckle) and the photo on the Montana surplus site it was clear why they have such a low price.. looks like they got a hold of a lot of simply beaten old damaged surpl...

I just checked their website and the only european ruck they offer is an Austrian one @ $89.99.. If they do in fact have the original German Mtn Troop rucks at that price, then obviously they have a good deal... As a dealer he wasn't able to find original rucks at that kind of a price... Is the one ...

My father deals in military antiques and surplus as a hobby job in his retirement.. recently he came across a small lot of original german mtn troop rucks.. Great condition.. and the real deal.. He picked up 7 of them I believe... I advised him to register here and put them in the Cairo bazaar.. He ...

Excellent Wade.... thanks for the assist !

OK.. nitpicky question... but curious if someone would mind measuring the width of their Raiders gunbelt in millimeters for me really quick... curious to see if your measurements match what I have.. (45mm)

yeah.. these are just uniform shirts like we wear at the P.D.... (and while they are cheap... it stinks wearing them... they are just uncomfortable)... as for the name being similar to "5.11" gear... I'd say its totally unrelated... these are under the name 911 simply because they are obvi...

I said the above with tongue in cheek... seriously, at your leisure.. and really at this point, as I have found some great reference photos, all I really need is one measurement from the tip of the barrel along the side of the pistol until the barrel meets the front edge of the cylinder.. ( in milli...

or not..

Hey Boinkffd... you going to TMCA in November ? I usually go every year.. ( my father always has a booth set up as well)

Hey guys.... my sideshow 1/4 scale KOTCS Indy statue is set to arrive today.. some of you know that I make custom real leather holsters and belts for these products.. however, I have seen photos of the Webley Green that comes with this statue and it is off.. ( seriously off actually).. so I am going...

Are there ANY pics of the full whip keeper from KOTCS anywhere ?? I have been looking but no luck !

I am trying to find some pics of the KOTCS whip keeper.. no luck yet.. anyone have any links or images ?? I need some help for a project !

I was in my law school class last week.. wearing my US Wings Indy jacket.. and I carry a leather briefcase/satchel for all of my books, papers etc.. now mind you this satchel looks NOTHING like anything Indy ever carried.. and the guy next to me says.. " so.. yo got like this Indiana Jones thin...

EXCELLENT info... ( of course.. what else should I expect from here ) That confirms my suspicions... but again, just wanted to make sure I knew what I was ordering.... at this point it just comes down to the age old COW question.. which hat to get ? :o I am torn between the Magnoli HJ ( because it m...

OK...before I get the typical "use the search function" reply... I did.. and have not found what I am looking for.. I have just started really looking to purchase a fedora.. and like many that have been in my position at one time I am overwhelmed at the options / variables involved... one ...

German mountain troop's rucksack.. ( or Gebirgsjager's rucksack) I am still kicking myself over the fact that my father sold those for years and now can only get the modern version from his supplier.. at times he would have dozens of those stacked in the garage.. but I never needed or wanted one the...

What a terrible shame.... it goes without saying that his family is in my thoughts and prayers.

in terms of durability, you cant get any better than an actual military bag... they're specifically made to stand up to the worst abuse...

I just saw those same pants at Target last week as well... the only problem I saw was that they were cut a little too baggy I thought.. but still ad a great color.. flap closure on the rear pockets.. and a great price

I just ordered a leather gunbelt from Todd's costumes... I ordered the "deluxe version".. but wow.. this leather is rough around the edges... the belt is really coarse and cracked along the top and bottom edge... is this par for the course on their stuff.. or did I just get a bum belt ?

otherwise after the draw, the holster collapses(which some really don't mind), it's not a huge issue, For me this is a huge issue... granted I am a police officer and my needs for on the job performance are different than a private citizen's CCW needs.. but still... I work in a narcotics unit so un...

I don't ever recommend using a holster without at least a thumbbreak... you can say all you want about being able to secure your sidearm, but in an ugly situation you will be much better off with at least a level one security...

yeah.. its really hard to tell from watching the film.. I was hoping someone may have some photos in a reference book from the film that may help.. mal sehen

Hey guys... just curious if anyone knew what kind of holster Belloq is wearing in the opening of Raiders as he takes the idol from Indy.. it is some knd of flap holster.. but I cant seem to get a good view of it.. anyone have an idea ?

Now that is a #### of a job on a replica... I'll be snatching one of those babies up as soon as they are available !!

Yup... it says large... its a good get that if these were taken from a crewmember that they simply wrote in pen on the gloves what size they were so that when crewmembers went to get workgloves they could see what size they were without having to try them on.. it does not look like the word is print...

Just a note on Nikwax.. this too is an excellent product.. you'll find it in a lot of good outdoors shops and it is highly recommended by outdoor enthusiasts for use on high end hiking boots... it should do the trick for you just as well..

After all this talk about the old 1911 in the last few threads I was reminded of this discussion last night at work. My Sgt called me up on the phone and informed me I was to meet up with our dept. SWAT team and the area Drug Task Force to standby while they picked up a guy who lived in my zone with...

Gotta agree with the praise for the ol' 1911... my dad has a really nice one in his collection.. one of the first weapons I ever fired.. (I'll never forget that day.. dad took me out when I was about 8 yrs old and let me fire a German Luger and his 1911.. I was the coolest kid on the block after tha...

Funny thing about this whole Texas-Tennessee turn the thread took.. I actually spent a good deal of my childhood in the Dallas Ft-Worth area.. (lived in Bedford and in Euless) Texas was fun as a kid.. especially that particular area.. but now I don't think I'd leave the Nashville area.. And back to ...

Hey Cliffhanger... yup I am on at Metro.. was actually a firefighter in Smyrna for a few years.. but got tired of sitting on the couch at the firehall waiting.... and waiting.... and waiting... for a call... I work out in East Nashville on the midnight shift now.. there seems to be no shortage of ca...

If I am going out the front door I am usually carrying something.. (even if it is just to the grocery store) I usually carry a Walther PPks.. but there are times I carry my departmental weapon, which is a .40 Glock 22... As for knives.. I never carry one.. unless you count the leatherman tool I keep...
