Default Cobra Paraphernalia

I got this sign from an antique/second hand shop in a country town earlier this year.

I walked in with the family and Liz spotted it first, she pointed it out and I couldn't believe it. It looked genuine, but i then noticed all the other "repro" signage hanging about the place.

Still had to have it anyway

David,

That's a great looking sign - looks quite genuine with rust and all. Perhaps it is not a repro..

Sorry - Its a Repro.

Same sign is in my shed!! $39 from a Sign Repro place at the Ettamogah Pub on the way to the Sunshine Coast.

Looks good even down to the aging

Default That looks familiar

Friends of mine gave me one of those recently. Haven't decided where to put it yet, so it's still in the kitchen

I see the ones on e-bay are 6x8 inches. This ones about 14x20 inches, sounds like the one PCC has. They look very effective with the rusty and aged look.

I think that knife on the right comes with a free shower curtain and a soundtrack CD of horror movie violin music.

Great ad for the Ebay sellers. It took about two minutes from the time I read the thread until I had one on order. $ 23.99 US includes shipping.

Then maybe you should "cut" out the nonsense! Bernie, did you get Skype yet? Where is Squire Todd? He can put that in the box for you.. it works really well and it appeals to Canadians like me... it's free! Did you tell the Aussies the difference between a Canadian and a Canoe? Canoes are known to tip at times.... I'm not cheap! I'm thrifty...


Cheers

Steve

Yes, anything is possible with the correct tools, Gav.
Bernie, check out Kill Bill 2 for a few pointers as to what a cranky woman with a knife will do!
