Magnificent ensemble there sir! Very nicely done.

It's all speculation really, but there seems to be two types of clandestine mission being suggested here. A more substantial military squad in the style of a raiding or reconnaissance party, lets say the US equivalent of the Long Range Desert Group, or a smaller, more descreet operation like somethi...

I have a Wested Raiders in goatskin. Tough as old boots, but still pretty light and comfortable. It's my favourite, go-to jacket and gets a lot of wear. I love it.

Dangerfreak

Some years ago I got myself a Wested Raiders. The recommendation I recieved for getting rid of the shine was a simple soaking in cold water, then roughly roll it up for a bit before allowing it to dry out naturally. Be patient with the distressing though. I was too eager to dry my jacket out so I co...

Nice one Raider S.

I'm subscribed to Mark Feltons channel and was really pleased to see the article above just earlier this evening. I thought to myself, "I must post that up on COW", but low-and-behold, you've beaten me to it. So, hats off to you sir!

Dangerfreak

Yeah, thats nice! How did you create the effect of the sand dust around the ribbon?

I must admit, I admire the company's reaction to this news. Many companies would have thrown the book at an individual ripping off their brand and name. But, to politely ask them to stop on the understanding of the individuals Ill health is rather gracious of them I think. It all sounds a rather unf...

Congratulations on your purchase. It looks great! I too have got stuff from David and have loved the results. I would definitely go to him first for Indy leather gear.

Nice one! Looks great. Where's the leather strap from? Sent from my XT1700 using Tapatalk It came from WPG as well.

First class job! I've not seen such clear and definitive close-ups of the buckles. The comparisons with other providers and versions available is also excellent.

Great find! Now that's some authentic wear for you. I wonder how it ended up in Germany? Perhaps left behind by occupation forces at the end of the war, or pilfered from the field during it? Who knows. A friend of my late Grandfather's had a lovely camera that he 'liberated' from Berlin in 45. I gue...

Thanks Bear. Year's ago I had a pair of modern-ish German paratroopers boots which I picked up from an Army surplus shop. They lasted me around 10 years. Every boot I've bought since then, usually vintage looking fashion boots, have fallen apart after about a year or less. I want to see how close th...

Very nice!

Sorry about the wait. Still haven't had the chance to replace the laces, but here they are. The weathering had a helping hand with some steel wool originally, but this has been complemented by natural weathering. I've worn them practically everyday when not at work and they have been polished twice....

Dangerfreak

That's an impressive projects list. I also like the idea of the clip-on whip holster. I shall look forward to seeing how your projects develop.

Those of you who have had a pair of these Wested boots for awhile now, could you update on how they’re holding up and aging? I’ve done some searching on here but haven’t found anything I've had mine for about a year and they're still going strong. I'll have to change the laces having just worn thro...

Quite right, the colours match well!

While we're on the subject of MOTB, any recommendations on that cardigan. I've read that some say it's brown, others that it's burgundy!

Well, I guess if you really want to do something, you've just gotta find how yourself. That's a good attitude to have. Good luck with further creations.

Hi Dangerfreak, yes, you are correct. I also explored what was possible a few years back and in summary you are very limited to a. what you can own and then b. what you can do with them. Under the 2007 Violent Crime Reduction Act ( VCR), you are not allowed to own a Realistic Imitation Firearm in t...

Dangerfreak

Thanks for sharing. Wise choice to check with your police. Another note is to check with the con you will be attending. Different cons have different rules regarding weapons. Most have a "weapons check" where the items will be inspected and then tagged as compliant to con rules. This goes...

OK, so this is the resin replica I'm going for: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/572853770/smith-and-wesson-m1917-us-service?ref=hp_rv I decided to opt for the raw cast/unfinished version as I have some model paints and other bits, so I should be able to sort out the paint job I want. I informed the ...

Dangerfreak

Having chosen a resin replica I'm happy with, and being a UK resident, I decided to check out the law on the importing and public use of imitation firearms. I seemed to have opened a right can of worms as it appears the law is slightly different for different types of imitation and replica firearms....

Dangerfreak

Thanks Indiana Jeff, some useful links here which gives me a few options. Very helpful.

Regards, Dangerfreak.

Dangerfreak

Wow, certainly looks great in the pictures and the fact that you own one means you can testify to that. Nice shout, thank you. I shall check this out.

Thanks for the heads up on this guy. I spotted his work in my search also. It does look good and so do his reviews. Price is well within range even with the UK shipping. Definitely worth considering.

I've been scouting around for resin props of Indy's Raiders revolver to fill my holster when in public places. I've kept my eye out for both the Smith and Wesson model 1917 and the Smith and Wesson Mk.II hand ejector. I'd be happy with either. Does anyone have any recommendations from a tried and te...

Dangerfreak

Its no easy task but perseverance can pay off and although regretfully I can't say this is a .445 its - for me - a decent enough blend between a Raiders/TOD revolver. A Pre-Victory .38 ironically manufactured at nearly the same time as Raiders was set. Nice purchase. I've been hunting around for a d...

I have often worn fedora style hats in the past before I got into Indy gear. As not many people wear them these days, they do draw looks, but I've never had a problem when out and about. Only when I've gone down the pubs has somebody just grabbed it off my head only to simply put it on their own hea...

I have a Fed IV and the first thing my wife said was that it looked too tall. I also noticed that in the mirror it looked just a touch too wide at the hat band.

I found mine were a bit tight across the toes when they arrived. I wore them around the house and on short walks to begin with to avoid any serious discomfort from prolonged active use. I also didn't pull the laces across the top of the foot tight. After about two or three weeks they were breaking i...
