Alleged Screen Used Hero TOS Phaser up for auction (now the aftermath)

[ghostryder]

The ten turn is a JPL as is the "crispy" and the acrylic emitter....

Oh cool, thanks for the info - so, that's these bits, correct?

Yup

 

[Gregatron]

No, thats not Jon Paul as he has no interest in anything other than TOS props.

I have done business with him for parts as they are quite nice.

The phaser does have one of his early adjustable barrels...

I can state for certain he doesn't have the skill to do the type of aging involved on the fraud phaser. I know several people who own some of his "museum quality replicas" and let's just say R. Shanko does much better work...


RJS does far better mids than JPL's which tend to be a lighter grey on the P2 as he tends to prefer the mid's that were painted like the crap's early on in season 2

In some of my conversations with Ron on FB he stated he got to examine and take detailed measurements and notes on the West Coast Collectors.

Here is a picture of one I own that was made by him: View attachment 1731171View attachment 1731172

...so certain, are you?

Just so I'm clear - you're saying this Heritage phaser *does* have one his early barrels on it?

 

[AdmiralBaxter]

I am certain on my RJS mid is very nicely done, is it 100% or 95% accurate honestly I don't care. It is a nice midgrade and I like it.

Based on phasers he's built for some of my close friends I honestly think Ron does better work.

Mind you I COULD very well be wrong, yet I base this on his work I've seen and held in my hands.

Just so I'm clear - you're saying this Heritage phaser *does* have one his early barrels on it?

100% beyond any doubt at all.

I will make this clear I am NOT an expert on phasers and the original parts yet I know HIS parts as I do use them.

Again, thanks for the info - so the barrel highlighted here is one of his replicas?

 

[feek61]

I am not sure who made the nozzle but it does not appear to be original.

 

[AdmiralBaxter]

I am not sure who made the nozzle but it does not appear to be original.

It's one of JPL's copies of another fan produced version which he tries to "perfect" and sell as screen accurate

 

[ghostryder]

AdmiralBaxter - can you clarify the maker of the barrel (not the emitter tip) - thanks!

JPL, It was from one of the later DStines runs that he copied when he made his. (I found my notes)**EDIT**

And here is a Hero Phaser number 33 1/3rd Straight from the 23rd Century : (just for giggles lol)

For half a second, I nearly had a stroke because I thought yet another fake was up for auction. But, no, this is the Jein hero.

*Hands Gregatron a cold drink and some Aleve, gets him a recliner and pillow for his feet*

C'mon man, don't have a stroke on us! We're still waiting to see what you do with the NX-0002!!!

Soon enough.

Since we know the Hero is the real deal and the stunt most likely is too, maybe a new thread should be started for that auction.

Good idea.

And we can only hope that the usual suspects don’t somehow buy/have access to and then reverse-engineer the hero to make even more convincing fakes for auction.

That could be difficult to check

Hmm

FAKE.
