: For the folks who have never seen the original artwork when Raiders was proposed, check out the item on eBay number 192376438. This is an original 1980 Raiders press kit that has a lot of the original drawing work included. You'll see that Indy was supposed to be a cigarette smoking Colt .45 toting rough and tumble type from the original artwork. If you've never had the chance to see these drawings, here's a brief chance to do so. Regards. Michaelson

I remember seeing some pictures like these during the Spielberg or Ford "Biography" on A&E. Highly amusing. I noticed Indy is wearing the WW1/WW2 Army Issue khaki webbing pistol belt and looks like also the ammo pouch and holster for the .45 Auto. Part of me wishes they kept these... If I were Indy I would have!

Cheers,
Abner
