ANH Hero DL-44 Discussion - Three ANH Greeblies Found

One thing that may come out of all this Bapty nonsense is the stamping on the back of the actual film prop itself. IF these c96’s that are used to make these auction blasters truly are from Baptys inventory.. the real hero could be missing the S/N as well? Just a food for thought with this one as that stone will probably never be unturned..

I wouldn't trust anything coming out of Bapty these days; they've more then proven themselves to be willing fraudsters in the name of a quick buck. Then again, if anything remotely positive might come out of all their nonsense then I'm happy to thank the little guys doing their part while thumbing my nose at the higher ups.

As they say, **** rolls downhill.

The large ring Mausers normally don't have Serial numbers stamped on their Lock frame the way the small ring C96 does.

Note: The video also covers later-film DL-44s and the auction fiascos, so happy to repost elsewhere if more appropriate.

…this podcast is co-hosted by the guy who was playing around with STAR TREK TOS props and models prior to their auction as if they were toys.

Can I overcome my cringe and revulsion to watch Scott bring some sanity to the table?

Yes. Yes you can. Just occupy your mind with the very real damage that's been done to the historical record these past couple years.

Physical surviving props absolutely matter and should be cared for / handled ever-so-slightly more gingerly pre-ownership than in that video.

But I'd argue caring for facts matters a whole lot more.
