Yea, the link isn't working for some reason. Could you post the pictures here, and perhaps put the video on youtube?
Thanks!

Now they're working. Thanks for posting the pics and that short video. As to this day, that' the closest I've gotten to actually handling an AB! Is that the beaver AB or the rabbit? Thanks again!

I have the rabbit,couldnt spring for the beaver and im not sure it would really matter in my life as im not out in the wilderness or working in my hat or on any big adventures...so the rabbit will probably be ok for me..OH and both are rabbit.

Thanks for that comparison.

Makes me realize I'm happy with my Fed IV.

Although it appears to be not a lot of difference. I can say that the AB crown is more vertical,and remains higher from front to back then the Fed. AND its a collectors dream "to me" to have a hat made by the man that made Indys. Yes there is a price difference, but its as close as you can get IF you want what Indy has. BUT yes, the Fed is a nice hat. Not as strongly made as I though. As I did some slight distressing to me a while back and the sweatband has come lose in a spot or 2..BUT otherwise good.
