I was looking through an Entertainment Earth catalog and they had some prop replicas from the "Watchmen" movie. I noticed that both items (one was a grappling hook, another a pair of 1911 Colt looking guns) said that the items were permanently attached to the display. I saw some Wolverine claws a while back that also said they were not removable from the display. So who would buy a prop that you can't pick up and wave around? Are they just saying that for legal reasons and you can actually remove them? It wouldn't make sense otherwise.
