Any chance of making some of those blank cards available along with the amebrlith?
Screw the price. I just want to be able to display a set of pulls next to my screen-used badge.

Is that propmaster still around? He would have the background info on the blaster!
The Assistant Prop Master in question is Arthur ‘Art’ Shippee. He’s still with us but as far as I know no longer involved in the industry. Interestingly Art was the person who collected the gun (I never use the B word) from the gunsmith and delivered it to the set as he was the only one available on the day who had a firearms licence.

He seems a little bitter about a few things. He is missing part of the replica story as well.

Which part? The post wasn’t about replicas, there is already a timeline on Propsummit for those. Always ready to update when new info comes along.

I read more of his story from his blog.
Thanks PropsToHistory for sharing this amazing process. Such a treat to get to see these being made with the same equipment from the same materials using the original blocks. I'm just mind-blown, and quite jealous haha. I NEEED one of these for my BR office!!!
You may be in luck soon.
This is good news.
In designer Tom Southwell's concept sketch, he tagged it as a "division number."

Sorry, my bad....I saw the other thread.
I ordered one of these. The way they were made back then and the fact they can still make them today using the same plates is INSANE.
Cool as Fu*k!
