Anybody Got A Quick 5 Mil?

Well hell, I read the headline and thought someone was attempting to startup a crowd sourced primer factory! I’d invest in a primer company!

I did notice that they advertise Indiana Jones 5 in the description. "Indiana Jones and the lost wheelchair". Doesn't he carry a Webley top break in some of the movies?
All I can say is, at that price there'd better be at least one box of ammo.

Wonder if they are interested in taking trades? Joe

I gotta ask what you have to trade for an even steven deal?

I wonder how they screwed up a revolver to shoot only blanks. And after the movie, further deactivated so as to be a British Paperweight.

The should take it to the Pawn Stars and tell them they want $5 million for it.
That would be a fun episode.

I always thought the Raiders gun was a Heavy Duty and not a .455.

Indy was a man of many guns like most of us...

I think its a either posting mistake or a publicity stunt. If not, and it sells i also have items from the Stembridge/MGM prop sale and may be rich?. After his last performance in with Fisher i think its value is greatly reduced and retirement is in order.

Well if you were a failed celebrity real estate dealer, currently dabbling in some really big, huge in fact political shenanigans' and wanted to flaunt, FLAUNT money they may or may not have, what better than the equivalent of a fake gun(oh, right, inoperative) t o hang with the very used golf clubs. It is a one of a kind, thankfully. I can see it now, the huge headlines, and maybe a guest spot in the next Indiana Jones movie, yeah that works, ROFLMAO!!!

One the items form the Prop sale was an repop 1890 Rem Police used in the "peacemakers" series with Tom Berenger and some movies like "Comanche". While externally fine the Cylinder was a mess. Originally a .357 The cylinder was crudely re chambered to 5 in 1 blanks. I offered it at auction with a $500 reserve and no takers.

...I'd pay $500 for it if Harrison Ford hand delivered it in a stormtrooper costume.

Maybe Harrison can pick you up in his plane and fly you out to the house and you can pick it up personally.

Something about movie guns...

The Walther PP used in filming Dr. No sold for $256,000.

Which is pretty amazing.

A 1962 movie featured a gun that was proofmarked in 1964.

(Much discussion on the Walther Forums).

Article is posted by CNN. Wonder is they got a cut?

How does a place like MGD even get such an item.? They have only been in business since 2013

I've shot, worked on, the Colt Jack Ruby shot Oswald with. Tony Pugleisi bought it for $250k. No doubt more desireable than a movie prop.

Might want to review his flying accidents first.

Runway. Taxiway. Details.

I don't believe that Wyatt Earp's gun used at the O.K. Corral (if it could be located and provenance absolutely proven) would fetch anywhere near that amount of coin ~ maybe $1,000,000, but not much more.

I alao think any self-respecting gun true aficionado / collector would much rather have a proven firearm from from any famous / infamous historical figure (e.g. Cody, Earp, Hardin, James, etc.).

Franky, I wouldn't pay more than $30,000 for that particular movie prop gun and I think that is pushing it. Just my unqualified $0.02.

Seriously? It will be interesting to see exactly how they authenticate it. All of the scams out there, you could never trust it for $5000.

That's 1/4th what it cost to shoot the entire movie. I say we bring in Rick Harrison to haggle with the guy.

"We have a lot of expenses to cover, here, 20$, best I can do..."

OTOH, I would love to know the name of the person who was willing to spend 5M on that thing.

$5M seems completely excessive even by memorabilia standards.
