$600. Alot cheaper than a real DM and he does it in the late 70's early 80's style that DM doesn't offer anymore. As close as I'm gonna get to a vintage Morgan from that period.
My "special" order whip should be coming up pretty soon! Bernardo mentioned this new Raiders style whip to me in passing, but I never asked how it differs from the standard raiders. Maybe you or he could explain? Thanks, and enjoy that awesome new whip!

Side note:
George Lucas is responsible for giving us the "Lightsaber" and (more or less) Indy's bullwhip. Two iconic "hero weapons".
When it comes to the Lightsaber, the closest we can get to owning one personally is a toy....
When it comes to Indy's bullwhip, we can handle and own an ACTUAL "hero weapon" ...what an awesome world!

Yes...I also agree 100%, James... but I doubt we'd know about it, or idolize it so if Lucas didn't choose to put it in Jone's hands...hence the "more or less". I do totally agree with you though.

All I know is it has improvements that make it even more accurate to the film whip than his previous version. You'd have to ask HIM for specifics .
As to lightsabers you can get a real Graflex 3 cell which GL used too. May not light up, but is the actual real item used to make the sabers in Star Wars. I own one of those as well.
Your whip looks great after the sun bath. I am glad to hear you are pleased with it. Hope it serves you well for many years to come.
Thank you all for the kind words about my work. I have been indeed working on an improved version of my Raiders whip. For more details about it please check the new thread I have just posted.
