This page is under reconstruction!!!! - NEW PHOTOS coming

Gear and Props are the heart and soul of any Gearhead's collection.  Here are a few pictures of some of the various pieces I've picked up since being back into collecting "Indy Gear."  Most of these were online purchases, but I was lucky enough to visit a few vendors in person (Peter Bros. Hats, David Morgan, Flightsuits, Optimo, Lee Keppler).  Every vendor I've worked with has been great and I haven't had a bad purchase yet.  Click on the photo for the full size shot.

This is an original and screen-used Webley Mark VI Holster that was employed in the film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.  It is clearly visible during many scenes thought out the film, and is most notable when Indiana Jones reaches for it to extract his gun, only to find the holster empty.  The overall condition of the holster is very good, particularly considering that it is an original unit of 1917 vintage.  In fact, besides being an extraordinary piece of movie memorabilia, this holster is also a genuine antique.  Shots showing the writing on the rear of the holster.  It reads "WEBLEY .455  164629"
