Love your hats, I will post some of my hats when my copy of Perilous Island arrives!

EBay mainly...There's even some that I've bought off EBay that have come from (Posted) your side of town (England) to mine. (Australia)

I've got to get a Fez!
-
My copy arrived in the mail yesterday! But I sadly do not have such wonderful hats...
-
A splendid collection. I have two pith helmets - one should never be without a pith helmet ;) - and would like a fez.
-
Great collection. I have a few hats myself.
A fez. A fez. My kingdom for a fez... I asked a friend who was going to Turkey to get me a fez and he got me one - Hand made directly from the markets at Ankara. It's a bit wonky and has obvious hand stitching. An absolute original for a cost of next to nothing (apart from his airplane tickets I suppose ;D).
-
I've been trying to talk Dad into buying a pith helmet. He keeps trying to buy a pickelhaube. lol

Yes, a Deerstalker hat is essential as well, love yours!

That's what we need, a forum dedicated to gamer hats.
:D :D :D

Thanks all for the great comments.
Helmets\Hats..add to the flavor of the game. Mine all have a unique story attached to each and every one of them. The one concerning the fez haunts me to this day in that the girl who was selling it on ebay, had an old Chinese Fu Manchu type original that was listed the same time as the Fez, and I let it go. The story goes that her Grand dad picked both up in his early travels. I kick myself for not buying that hat because I haven't seen one listed that old since. You could smell the opium den just from looking at it on the Ebay pic.

My copy of Perilous Island arrived today, so I've been busy packing useful items to join you all there. I'm off to the Steamship Office in a minute to purchase first-class tickets. Magnums of champers and food hamper ordered from Fortnum & Mason!

Lord Snapcase, you appear quite well equipped, however, I would pack more ammo and larger guns. Perilous Island is said to be home to monstrous beasts.

That's great, Snapcase! You have an awesome collection there. It looks like you have everything else covered, so I'll just pack the sandwiches! lol lol
Thanks for sharing.

The only weapon I need for the journey to Perilous Island, my ugly mug!
Don't I look like a proud papa?

Johnny Aces, taking heed of your advice I have been rummaging through the cellars here at Snapcase Castle and come up with an assortment of slightly heavier weaponry which, as we speak the servants are strapping on to the old Roller, don't you know! However in view of the monstrous beasts you advise of, I have sent Old Scrotum the family retainer down to the village stores to see if he can pick up a Vickers and perhaps an elephant gun. I'll let you know how he gets on.

Good to see that Castle Snapcase's is well defended! lol lol
-
But Marianas, that's my happy face. I think LordSnapcase has enough weaponry for all of us.
-
Happy face, huh? Now I really am scared lol lol Snap case is good for the long and middle distances but needs a little oomph for up close and personal, say a short barrel pump 12.

I just wanted to share with you my new gaming hat, just arrived from eBay.

Beau 'Snappy' Geste. ;) Good score. I :-*'s me EBay.

Lots of different hats to be had, there (I have a hat fetich, and rarely leave home without a fedora).
-
Argonor, funnily enough I already have that link. I'm looking at this page trying to decide which fedora to buy!

This is mine and I never leave home without it. ;)

When you leave home, you don't perchance, have the job of collecting rare artefacts for the Museum of Antiquities?

I have a cheaper version (a bit stiff) of the official licensed Indy hat, but I think I'm going to order the Brown Ford Fedora along with a deerstalker and a fez. At some point I'm going to get me an Inverness Cape with matching deerstalker, as I once found a place where they sew the stuff to measure, but not right now.
If you can afford it, I'm sure the Indy Fur Felt Fedora and the Iconoclast are both very nice hats!
-
Yes, I agree. I need a deerstalker and a fez. I will be very jealous of your Inverness Cape. You'll have to post a photo when you get it made. Something like this one?
-
We are completely derailing this thread by now, but yes. Maybe in a brownish tweed, though. I'm a red-head, and warm colours suit me better lol
-
My latest off EBay. ;)
-
Very nice! Is it Royal Artillery, looks like their badge?
-
Yep, I haven't received it yet but I'm thinking it's the badge where the gun carriage wheel turns around ?? I'll let you know when it arrives.
-
Another great find, Prof! :D
-
I got my Fez today:

Nice Fez. Well done.
I can't see the 2nd pic ??? Is it a vid?
-
It's YouTube with a clip of Dr. Who. I can see it OK on mine, not sure what's wrong?

My good lord you have a nice selection of stuff to see you through those perilous adventures. Guns and what not. But what i am most interested is the knife & knuckle duster combination and the bottom of the picture. A good detailed shot is most appreciated. Cheers and good luck.
-
I got my Fez today:
Mine is in the mail :D (with a deerstalker and my fedora #4). And so should Pulp Alley, Cards, and Perilous Island be, too...
EDIT: Actually fedora #5, it seems. One loses track... ::)
-

Thought it was a vid because for some unknown reason I'm unable to view any. Might be because of my anti virus program. I have no idea of how to change it :?
-
Gratz on the Fez, Snapcase. 11 is Mila's favorite Doctor. I think that was the only reason she wanted a fez. But it has become quite popular around our house -- someone is always wearing it. lol

This knife was made to commemorate the wedding of 19-year-old Prince Karam Singh, heir to the Maharaja of Kashmir and 16-year-old Princess Yashorajya Lakshmi, the granddaughter of the hereditary Premier of Nepal on April 22nd, 1950. Apparently it was made for each of the Princess's 111 bodyguards on the occasion of her wedding. I also have the leather sheath for it. Apparently there was also a sash attached but I do not have that.

with a deerstalker and my fedora
Argonor, great choice, these are the next two hats on my wish-list!
11 is Mila's favorite Doctor. I think that was the only reason she wanted a fez. But it has become quite popular around our house -- someone is always wearing it.
I have to agree with Mila, Dave. Matt Smith is my favourite Doctor so far. Although I do have hopes for Peter Capaldi, the new doctor.
As the Doctor says "Fez's are cool!"

I think I'll have to make a house-rule to mimick that... lol

Very interesting. Thank you lord Snapcase.

OK, I seem to have the Pulp Bug very bad. Upon receiving my Ford Fedora, a fez, and a deerstalker, I just now purchased an 8' tan bullwhip. Pic with headgear and whip will follow as soon as the whip arrives! :D

A bit delayed, but as promised:

I haven't had time to get the whip unraveled and treated with leather oil, yet.

I bought mine from an eBay-dealer all right - http://popular.ebay.com/misc-a-b/bull-whip.htm
The Mauser is a cheap airsoft gun labelled only G.12, bought in the local toy store. No idea who makes it.

You'd have more luck with both from a porn shop. lol lol lol
