    Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    I know this has been talked about before, but I really want to make sure that this Nemrod holster is what was really used on screen.

    The holster that I just recieved has the small pocket for the knife.

    On all images I have seen of the ESB holster, I have not seen that small pocket.

    I tried to get the same type of lighting on this and if it were to have the pocket then there will be more the the area hightlighted. But no line or anything.

    what ya think?

    ok - one more and I'll shut up. It does look like it has the small loop for the knife, but no pocket. Maybe this screen version has a longer knife. Check out the bespin dude on the earlier images, it looks like he has some type of area where the end of the knife rests.

    Here's another pic of ESB Fett

    I don't see it.
    Perhaps there was a different Nemrod holster available at that time that didn't have the knife option.

    Or they just modified the Nemrod and casted ones used for the film. But that wouldn't make sense if they modified it. Went to that trouble of getting rid of it. But still left the Nemrod logo on the side.

    Looks to me like the knife holder is there. Who knows if these holsters were molded and copied from an original nemrod or if they were all originals?

    Doh, Danielle beat me to it.

    It almost looks like they built over the logo to cover it up causing a slight bulge. That would explain why it flares outward as you work your way down the holster.

    But I'm not sure I see any place to put a knife.

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    I agree with Gonzo Fett, why would they even bother removing the pocket and keep the logo? I know where going for accuracy here but if we can't see if it's there or not, does it really matter? besides, my pouch hangs in front of the holster just like the picture above. I have an MLC holster with the pocket.

    It matters to me. I have waited a long time to get my Fett right. And I'll continue to wait till I'm happy with it.

    I have already paid over 300 dollars on my ESB holster Fiberglass and all. I dont want spend more on it.

    I wanna get it right. I'm trying not to do any upgrades in the future. But I know I will.

    Side by side they look like they might even be different holsters.
    The portion of the holster that lines the barrel of the gun is a completely different shape. If it is the same one, they definately trimmed part of it out. Namely the knife holder.

    Yeah - it's starting to look like they slice it off. This stuff is prett easy to cut with a blade. theres a solid wall inside the pocket, so it would be pretty easy to do.

    I just need to reaffirm that this is was done in 1979

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    HAHAH yea its the left gauntlet on the right side of the screen cap good eye!

    I still disagree that this is the correct blaster. There is a nemrod that ended on the 23rd that has a more clsoely looking handle. I would say judging by the length of the barrel tip that they cut the holsters shorter and removed the knife sheath. It also looks like they removed part of the clip or put some type of button where the hole was.

    Unless you get access to the archives I guess we'll only be able to speculate.

    $300 . I wouldn't let a knife pocket hold me back from completing my costume but that's me. after looking at the close up photos, it looks to me like it is NOT there but I'm not about to cut it off at this point.

    Were talking about the holster, not the blaster.

    The blaster is another story.

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    looks like it was cut off.

    i have another question not quite realted to the topic, but looking at those clear pictures, i noticed that the rifle scope is mounted the wrong way, i saw that in a bunch of esb photos already, any input why that is? shouldn't Boba Fett know better??

    Yeah the flash tube was inserted two different ways for the ESB rifle. In some images you could see those little wired things in the inside and some it's all hollow. Personally, I like the hollow look.

    Ok back to the topic. anyone else with ideas, images, high rez images, clearere images, etc....

    Let's get it right before I slice this front pocket.

    In my opinion the knife part looks like it was cut off. That is a great find man! And good eye Bountyone on catching that guant I just have to ask, did you try the spear gun out?

    well, as far as I can see, the knife sheath isn't there.... But I simply can't see them slicing it off for the movie. They wouldn't bother. I think we just have the wrong holster. Honestly, I would stick with what you have for now and not mod it, until we find the right one. Keep in mind that it is likely that the holsters weren't made by nemrod, but made for them by someone else, so it is possible that the basic holster design was used for a number of companies.

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    I am convinced it is a Nemrod holster due to the triangle type logo you can see on the ESB image in Turo's first post.
    But check out all these Nemrod spear guns from a Nemrod catalog from the 70's

    Isn't is possible they used a different model holster than the one we are thinking?
    Just seems unlikely that ALL of them would have the knife holder option. Or even a later model from the late 60's?

    All I know is someone here is beating me on my nemrod on evilbay grrrr......^_~ grats if you beat me on it.


    C'est la vie I will wait til the Nemrod talk slows a bit and the competition on one lessens.....


    As for the holster, that is a good point Gonzo, they could have used a different holster with the nemrod in question, but without seeing them we are at a loss on knowing if that is the case.

    Is it possible they cast an original nemrod hoster, made a few adjustments and then made more copies for Boba and the bespin guys such as removing the logo etc? Nice find Turo

    Just found this, I think the type you have Turo is the Nemrod Clipper correct? This is a Nemrod Corsario which I think closely resembles the grip of the ESB sidearm? I still think the holster is correct

    that is what im thinking. i have both of these spearguns and plan on doing a combo of the corsario grip/gun with the clipper holster. i may fill in the knife slot or look at it closer about shaving it out.

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    There is no doubt in my mind that if they used this holster they had to have removed the knife pocket. The only other alternative is that there is an other yet undiscovered holster out there.

    I have spend literally hundreds of hours studying pictures for the purposes of reverse engineering props and models. One main issue to consider pictures can be very deceptive, as it was pointed out, the holster in the studio picture looks to be a little longer. What is more like the case is that the picture has been for lack of a better word been "stretched". This can be cause by number of things, from the type of lenses used to do the filming to as simple as someone playing with aspect ratio of the picture.

    At this point in time I find it hard to belief that there is an other holster out there, someone would have discovered it by now. Plus the fact that manufactures hate to reinvest in tooling to recreate an item when they already have tooling for a viable product.

    As for the question why didn't they remove the logo? Why bother? On screen no one would ever know what it is, it is those of us that are trying to recreate it that would ever notice and now lets be honest the filmmakers could care less about us.

    Film making is all about the art of illusion. They don't need to have things perfect, if you can't see the left side of something in the film then don't spend the money building it etc...

    From everything that I have seen this is the correct holster with the knife sheathe removed. Just my two cents worth.

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    While the Nemrod holster could very well be the correct base holster for the screen used holster(s)… I just find it hard to believe that they would have gone to the trouble of removing the knife sheath/compartment… but not remove the logo? Something just doesn’t make sense to me.

    There are countless props and parts used in the SW trilogy that have not been identified and I’m still holding onto the hope that just maybe there is another “off-the-shelf” holster without the knife sheath that we have not seen yet.

    I think that the knife sheath/compartment wasn't removed. Please see this composite:

    I really dont see the insert/slot for the knife.

    Maybe it's an earlier version with just a small loop on the bottom for the knife to rest.

    Then later on, alot of divers where complaining that they were gettin cut by the end of the blade, and made a whole small pouch for the knife and still has the small loop for the top of the handle.

    No way! Once I have confirmation that the pocket doesn't exist, I'm making myself a leather holster.

    Hey Seeker....This might help...

    SPECIAL THANKS to Ben Stevens at Official PIX for providing this shot.:thumbup

    I think it goes to show that the Nemrod Holster was just cut and modified.

    WOAH!!!! BINGO!!

    I knew it!!

    Thanks Spidey! I'm pretty sure they did the same thing for Boba holsters.

    It just never made sense that we couldn't see that freakin line for the pocket.

    awesomeness.

    Pocket will be sliced off!!

    thanks!

    It just didn't make sense to have the pocket there since it was suppose to be a holster for the movie. The knife pocket would have made it bulky for the wearer.

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    I bid up till 150... but decided to get a MLC one till I get my whole costume done. then up grade to a real one.

    but I normaly don't like to lose on Ebay

    but $200+ can go towards completing my ESB suit.
    I'm glad it went to a member.

    Yeah I think so too...however there was a question if Boba's was like this as well, and I would say yes to that also.

    Seems like LF they went to a lot of trouble just to have the small pocket taken off that really wouldn't show up on film very well anyway.

    Turo, you know if you make a leather holster, it won't be accurate since the real speargun holsters were rubber.

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    There is another feature, besides the knife pocket, on the holster that was modified. The bottom was cut open so the barrel could stick out. In most cases the divers who were using the holster for its intended purpose probably did this modification themsleves.

    The holster I just got didn't have this modification done to it... yet.

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    I just picked up mine! It was a steal at $35! One problem, the strap for the gun handle is broken. I think it should be easy enough to fix. Once I cut off the knife sheath, I can use that scrap to make a new strap, add a snap and rivet it on. For those of you that have this holster, how long is that strap? Measurements for both sides would be great since it comes off at an angle!

    Re: Nemrod holster? let's discuss

    I went ahead and cut off the pocket, and opened up the bottom end. Still need to fix the strap (measurement?? anyone??) and it needs to be sanded a little smoother. So far the best smoothing has come from dry sanding with #320 -#800, and using some Novus plastic scratch remover.

    Looking good PHAT. I've been working on sanding mine as well. A B&D mouse sander has been saving the elbow and wrist. Most of my time has been getting rid of the seam lines. I'm thinking about leaving a few scratches on the holster. It is ESB Fett afterall where nothing is very shiny or clean on the suit.

    I could trace my strap and email it to you.

    Thanks Dudes!

    I'm going for a fairly matte finish with a few scratches. Nothing on Fett should be clean. Except his underwear!

    I spoke to Mardon(MLC) about doing just that, he may but right now it would cost a bit to redo the mold.
    I just decided to buy one and mod it myself.

    I talked to Ruff at Motor City comic con and told him about the holster situation.

    He said he would do it. I told him that I'll modified the one he sold me and rebuild the back and remove the pocket.

    So as soon as i cut it off and fix the back and get it ready, I'll send it off to Ruff for him to start distributing new cast of them.

    yep - I'm not sure if his mold was starting to go, but I couldn't get my blaster in there with out going in there smoothly.

    so the inside of the holsters need to be widen.

    I'll hook it up guys. it will be dead on. plus that leather strap.

    We'll finally have the definete nemrod holster.

    A huge group effort.
