thanks

Mojo and Raven are two completely different canopies.

The canopy is all black?

You have an old style Mojo tailpocket (you can tell from the tongue in cheek warning label). It might be that you really have a Mojo, but if the canopy is all black, it's more likely that it's a Raven that had a Mojo tailpocket sewn on as a BASE "conversion."

The container is very vintage looking (no BOC pouch, so it was probably made in the mid to late 90's at the most recent).

What kind of help are you looking for? If you just want to sell it, please post it in the classifieds. If you want help establishing a value, look through the classifieds (I saw a couple similar canopies for sale for $300 each a while ago). I'd guess the whole system is worth maybe $600.

Are you trying to figure out who made the container? I don't think it's going to be easy to figure that out, but maybe someone here knows. It looks pretty old, so it's either made by someone who's way out of the mainstream, making very old designs, or it's actually 10 years or more old.

The canopy is a Super Raven III, PIA 240, not BASE specific but nonetheless it makes a great BASE canopy, you can sell that for ~500 if it has little jumps on it.

The container looks interesting. I'd add a BOC and jump the shit out of it! Just make sure the harness MLW stitching was done right...cord 5 with the four pointer pattern. Any rigger can help you with that.

I'd say if everything checks and the canopy has not many jumps you can get about 600 bucks for the whole system.

This is a good time of the year to sell shit because bridge day is just a shot of lime away.

I thank for help.
Yes, I want to identify this equipment to can sell it.
stripe "WARNING" is completely clean.

it is more exact pictures there.

it thanks for help once again...
blue skies!!

"bridge day" this super matter!!!
maybe when I come flying to USA, I will jump BASE very willingly.

It might just be my memory playing tricks on me, but I think that rig may have been built by a rigger who used to work at a DZ in Northern California around 2001.

Can you get a better shot of the warning label on the tail pocket? Is there a warning label in the container?

That looks like an old warning label for the Mojo. The original one

just picked up an identical setup. the canopy is a Raven III with the TSO label picked off and a old style CR tailpocket installed.

The container seems well built but has no identification short of the Voodoo homegrown on the shrivel.

interesting :
articulated legstraps
type 17 chest strap
loop style cutaway handle (old school just soft housing with 2 wraps of yellow cable, no hardware).
hide-a-bag with left hand access
all D-rings are labeled RW-7-93 which seems too old of a vintage for a container built this way...

can anybody help with an ID ?
