Yeah favorite quote, “,but you sir, are a self made man.”

Not to reference anybody, just my favorite quote from that movie.

:lol:

Lee Marvin was a Marine. As accomplished as he was as an actor, he opted to be remembered as a jarhead on his headstone. I think that is pretty cool. Could've afforded a huge fancy headstone, etc., but went for the VA provided headstone.

Yes, being a Marine is one of those forever things.

On a cowboy shooting forum it was pointed out that I left off the oval center part of the pants belt.  On closer examination of pictures of the original belt, they were correct, I hadn't noticed it.  So,  instead of remaking the center part of the belt, I add some Mexican silver.   Hope you like it.

Plinkercases, I would love to be able to do silver smithing, but no I didn't make it.  It is a cowboy buckle I had made about twenty-five years ago and now it has a new purpose.  Thanks for asking.

I know I shouldn't hijack threads, but I couldn't resist this, as it is one of my favourite film anecdotes

The part of Quint, the shark fisherman in 'Jaws' was originally offered to Lee Marvin, but he turned it down, saying; "I eat fish, I don't act with them".

If at first you don't succeed try again.  This is my revised version of the style 1911 gun rig and belt worn by Lee Marvin in The Professionals.  I think I've got it right this time.  Hope you like it.

Cant wait for the third version...all excellent and getting more so.

In the picture was it a mag pouch on his weak side or in some it looked almost like an open top holster?

Not sure if you said above but what is the finish you used?
