Agent5

Raiders of the Lost Ark had a very dramatic impact on Agent5 as a 9 year old boy that has not diminished to this day. He trekked to the theater to see it over and over in the summer of 1981 and then again and again the following summer during it's popular and successful re-release. Like any 9 year old after seeing Raiders, Agent5 wanted to be Indiana Jones. He was soon toting his grandfathers old brown fedora, white dress shirt, khaki pants and Mark 6 gas mask bag. Soon after he was gifted by his parents with his first whip from Pier-1 Imports and his first costume was complete enough. Then it was off to the yard for many adventures with friends who had just as deep an admiration for Raiders. Well...almost.

Agent5's true love of Raiders of the Lost Ark has led him down a lifetime path of collecting any and all things connected to the legacy of Raiders as well as select items from the Indiana Jones sequels. After finding the internet and Indygear it only made it easier to acquire items for his collection that were never before available to him. This only intesified his drive and intensity to broaden his collection to include many foreign items, many well made replicas as well as screen used pieces from the film and of course, Indygear. With over 25 years of experience in collecting Raiders items he has become known in many on-line circles as a true Raiders aficianado and has shared his knowledge with Club Obi Wan members and fans for almost a decade.

Agent5 hopes to continue to be an integral part of the Indygear community that continues to learn as well as share information on the greatest hero of modern cinema and what he considers to be the best film ever to grace the silver screen, Raiders of the Lost Ark. We are proud to have him, and his eye for detail, on board as a staff writer.
