Very nice. Thanks for the heads up, Mathias. Should those bottom corners be rounded off? It seems like they are in these pics, no? Pretty simple to do if needed, though.
On the strap? Looks like they shouldn't. But that's an easy fix.

Not quite "found on ebay", since it's etsy. Anyways, I talked with kelldragon about a modified pattern for his officer DL-44 holster that would better fit the Power5. He's just come back with the result. I like it, and I know some of you already have his holster and know it's good quality. Not quite the maroon colour I asked him about, but I don't know if mine will be a one-off and the pictures on etsy are "stock" or not. Else I'll settle on a brown, which is fine. Just a tip in case you're looking for a ready to wear holster.

I was speaking briefly with kelldragon about making a modified version of his DL-44 holster for my Power-5 in a maroon-ish leather. He didn't have that kind of leather in hand so it'll be a while, but I have faith in his crafts and I'll post some pictures once I have it.

You'll want to go with brown then if you want to shoot for L2/L3 down the line.
I think it's more maroon-ish so that's what I will go with. But we can agree it's not black.

Ẅhat other groups do or do not is not really relevant though.

Most of our events in Nordic Garrison are semi-canon, so it would not be appropriate to wear anything outside of the CRL.

Save up some more money instead of limiting your budget. If you make the wrong call you might end up wasting your cash on crap instead of waiting and getting something good.

The disk is a real life found item from a Michell turntable and has the notch and grooves. It was bought in bulk added to the hats and belts. However, it is very likely that on some hats, and definitely on some belts they fell off during or in between shooting the movies (remember, it's 3 years between each movie) and that replicas were fabricated by LFL to replace the lost discs.

It's not supposed to be different but it will always be because it's in human nature (and garrison culture).

So a black officer has to be the same as one of the movie one's is that a cardinal costume?? and does that mean you can only have a rank bar that is seen on screen? ....umm!!
You're in the UKG. They are a bit more strict about that sort of stuff than most US garrisons. Not that I personally disagree with them on that.

Juno has it.
But more to the point is probably that no black officers in the movies had it.

After trying to try on my friends riding boots (same kind as yours), she rides dressage with horses, there seems to be no trick to it. Just boot hooks and lots of force.
Her boots obviously didn't fit be since we're different sizes and hers are tailor made for her, but didn't mind me trying anyway, so there seems to be no risk of damaging them from using force to get the boots on.
-
It's quite likely that some hats and buckles lost their greblies in between or during shooting of the different movies, and a replica replacement was machined to replace it. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
-
There's even a preexisting thread on this:
-
Maybe they fabricated their own copies if they didn't have enough of the real discs?
-
Michell engineering "hydralic reference" turntable if I'm not mistaken. Lots of Fett parts come from the same turntable.
Edit: Here it is:
-
Looks a bit like it's bleached by sunlight. Got a lot of sun over there?
-
Fair enough, but I only deal in accuracy.
-
very nice, do people just make the other parts themselves or just find pieces that look like those extra parts?
That would depend on your budget I guess. You can either just wing it and try to find something that looks similar, build it from plastic scraps, or buy high-end machined metal replica parts to attach.

Kelldragons new Power5 holsters
in Costume Questions - Ask Here!

Ah. Yeah I see it now. I think kelldragon used his original pattern and just modified the top to not have the cutout for the scope that a DL-44 has. Which is just what I asked for.
The original holster is probably some cheap pleather like Neo Kerberos. So while this holster may not be the pinnacle of accuracy, I know that some of us here have them already and that the quality is high, which is why I went with his, and wanted to give the rest of you a heads up on the modified version in case you were contemplating the DL-44 version already.
