You should ask the same thing at <a href="http://www.indygear.com/forum">Club Obi-Wan</a>. It's a forum for Indiana Jones's gear´.

If I were trying to make the same decision myself, I'd go with the Red-Hide Whip from Western Stage Props. It just looks much more like Indy's whip to me. Its wristloop appears to be braided, like Indy's, and is very nice looking, whereas the Kepler whip needs to be modified to even include a wristloop. The cheaper price just wouldn't be enough for me to choose the Kepler.

I've talked with the staff at Western Stage Props, and here's what I've learned.
If you want a whip that will last a lifetime, a kangaroo hide, 12 plait (16 plait is so thin of strips of leather, it will not last as long), such as the Indy style whip (If you can stand a price of about 300), is the best.
I have a 6' Indy Western Stage Props, and an 8' australian style Western Stage Props, and what I would suggest, is an 8' Indy style, such as this one:
