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... ::)

It's YouTube with a clip of Dr. Who. I can see it OK on mine, not sure what's wrong?

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

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.

Some pictures here for you Legion1963:

This photo makes the blade look very rusty but it's not that bad.



Close-up of the blade:



Close-up of the hilt (supposedly a skull face?):



Inscription on one side (looks like JODHPUR CITY VOLUNTEER CORPS NL or N2):



Inscription on other side (AUSPICIOUS WEDDING PRINCESS JODHPUR APRIL 22ND 1950):



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.

Argonor, great choice, these are the next two hats on my wish-list!

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!"

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.

That looks great! I've started trawling eBay for bullwhips!  lol

I like your Mauser by the way.

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.
