Bince's collection: Screen used props / 1:1 props / Original parts - Add: Webley n°2MKI pistol flare

[Bince]

Hi,
I have been on The RPF for a few years and I decide to post a subject presenting my entire Star Wars collection and find.
I only collect screen used props, 1:1 props and original parts. I collect specialy original Ewok's props (yes, I know )
I’m French my English is not perfect. Please excuse me .

 

[Bince]

To start:
My latest find, a lot of relics parts from british grenades Martin Hale (principally n°3MKI, n°3MKII, N°24MKI).
I started the restoration during the last weekend. I will post photos...

Nice. Thats quite a collection. Look forward to the progress pics.

 

[Bince]

To continue with british grenades, the two sisters (grenade n°3MKI and n°3MKII).
A good start for Obiwan's lightsaber...

 

[nailuj]

They are in good condition. Did you restore these as well?

 

[thd9791]

Nice pieces! I look forward to following the restoration and preservation

 

[joez2391]

Great collection, looking forward to seeing your screen-used pieces!

 

[Bince]

Thanks for your messages. I restored all my grenade. I have 3 news n°3MKI being restored in the garage, photos soon.
I moved to a new house, I have to find my screen used prop in my cartons to make photos...

Before and After

The work of the weekend (N°3MKI brass parts).

And for the archive

They are very nice. I like the cross section. I love that sort of thing.

Where do you find them? Do you get them from local collectors in archaeological digs, or metal detectorists in ploughed fields for example?

 

[Bince]

I have a contact in the north of France (Verdun). He's metal detectorist and passionate by the WW1. He can found a weapon in his garden

To change of my "grenade hobby", a recently entring: Kobold flash unit BC

 

[eethan]

Very nice! I'm trying to find all of those and no luck!

 

[nailuj]

I think its great that they are being recovered as relics from fields and so on and then carefully restored by people who really value them, if not for military reasons, but love them non the less.

 

[Bince]

A nice catch for me even if it does not have much value:
Totokia Fijian War Club
It is a modern version (> 1900s), certainly sold as a tourist souvenir but carved in quality wood.
The handle is more thinner and shorter than the 1800s versions (to fit in a suitcase ).
I'm surprised by the effectiveness of this tribal weapon. I wouldn't want to hit my head with it!!!

 

[RoCKo]

If it does not have that much value to you, I definitely would buy it off your hands...
Where did you find this Totokia?

 

[Bince]

It's from a old lady in Germany.

 

[RoCKo]

Of course from Germany....where else?!?
I wasn’t able to find one overseas for ages and you find one in my neighborhood!

Yeah, that’s my life... (compassion desirable!)
