That sounds like a good price after converting to GBP.

Just ordered my second bag. Thank you for the tip.

That's what they cost when I ordered from WPG back in June.. had they raised the price and now lowered them again?

That's what I paid back in June as well. I was surprised that so many people were spending $100+ on Ebay for a MkVII when WPG has tons of them at a reasonable price. Just don't order one that is beat up, because WPG sent me a bag with tons of writing in magic marker on the outside. They are very good about returns, so I exchanged mine for a better one.

I think I remember Endicott's selling them for $35 a while back. That's what I paid for mine.

Yeah, Endicott is still the best deal around

And their MKVII are already distressed ;-)

Endicott has unissued bags too.

Posted: **Fri Oct 03, 2008 10:14 pm**

I have an unissued MKVII from endicotts and one in a "lesser quality" grade and let me tell you that the so called "lesser quality" is still in darn good condition. And of course the unissued is perfect.

Agreed

Is Endicott's only selling the MK VI now? I cannot find the VII anywhere on the site.

Try send him an email, he usually answers quite promptly and if he doesn't have them he will tell you when he gets them back... and let us know too ;-)

I take it the MKVI is not screen-accurate?

It's Temple Of Doom screen accuarate ;-)

You guys probably know about the Mk VII's at Soldier of Fortune?

http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/reenactors/index.asp

Just search for VII Bag.

I bought mine from them at the time, as I do historical re-enactment, but prices appear to have gone up...

Still, nice bags though...

Undoubtfully nice but £40 unissued? And £50 for a W&G because an "Indiana Jones bag"? Wow these guys are really taking the p*ss

Really? Because the MKVI is a heckuva lot cheaper than the VII's...

You aren't referring to the FX bag, are you?

Actually I remember MKVIs being more expensive than the VII because more rare... but if you people don't like them that's fine, leave them all to me

Yes I'm referring to the bridge scene. It was worn by Ford in the film hence, on my book, is screen accurate. ;-)

Ha ha! Yes, I second both these sentiments! Although I use my MkVII every day, I actually prefer my MarkVI. It's better made, looks better, and I can get more in it. The quality of the materials used seems a lot higher than those used for the MkVII (I'm thinking especially of all the brass used for the strap fittings, the front D rings, hooks, sliders etc.). I assume that at that point during the war, austerity measures hadn't quite caught up with the manufacturing process so they were able to make a more durable item. Interestingly, both my bags are dated 1941, so I assume they were made in the same year.

Well, that was the one Indy and Mola Ram fought over...

Nice Clerks reference by the way, Montana...

Heh heh! I assure you we are open though. ;-)

Maybe they actually fought over the bag because it was so rare! (Especially with the 3 ventilation holes!) "The bag is mine!!!!"

Posted: **Wed Oct 22, 2008 10:12 am**

3 sankara stones, 3 holes.

Nice symetry.

Since he only had one stone left, Shiva must have magically changed the bag to a mark VII again when they travelled back to the village...

Posted: **Wed Oct 22, 2008 11:53 am**

I got an unissued "mint" bag from Endicotts as well. That bag not only looks good and acts functional...it is also one tough SOB!

Posted: **Wed Oct 22, 2008 6:47 pm**

So if I HAD to order a MK VI it would not be a total disaster? lol

Thanks guys,

Adam

No but ask Kevin directly

I don't know what's his current situation with the MKVIIs but he always gets them back if they are temporarly out of stock.
You can leave the MkVIs to the people who appreciate them ;-) ;-)

Posted: **Thu Oct 23, 2008 2:18 am**

Kevin says he's all out of MKVII's.

Posted: **Thu Oct 23, 2008 3:30 am**

Did he say if he knew when they were coming back?

Posted: **Thu Dec 11, 2008 7:57 am**

I've just got a an unissued Mk VI bag from endicotts ... 2 holes in the bottom ... the rear has the two extra pockets with the flap that I think is useful ... and i suppose i can always attach the disc on the side .. but really its a great bag ... oh and i don't have to cut the old strap off, it just unclips ... perfect, its already my day bag, keeps all my stuff init
