It should look spectacular. Sorry for the confusion, but It's the screen shot from the movie. I was showing that there is NO texture on the inside surface in the screen shot. The Chronicle marker is just plain wrong.
Here's the screenshot (not CGI) of the reason for two sides to the marker. One for the person that does the contract, and the one on the left for the person that hired him when the contract is done. This is also why my free Marker has no texture on the finger print surface. Because there isn't any.
Even though I can't find a screen shot with the second triangle at the 9 O'clock mark, the fact that there is a triangle at the 3 O'clock mark pointing to ONE of the finger prints, would absolutely suggest that there would be a second triangle pointing to the second finger print. That's why my free marker has 2 arrows.
Any production made, or supposedly screen used marker that HAS texture in the metal on the finger print area isn't the hero prop.
The hinge looks like it's from a pair of sunglasses.
Here’s the one that’s for sale on Prop Store now
The first picture is a screen shot of Santino D'Antonio adding his thumb print to the Blood Oath Marker. The second picture claims to be Santino D'Antonio's marker in the auction.
It just doesn't match up to the screen shots. The texture on the finger print surface shouldn't be there. The triangle at the 3 O'clock is the WRONG size/shape. The screen shot shows the hero prop screen shot has a smooth surface over all the surface, not just the finger print area. This auction one has a rough surface and texture even around the stars at the top. The hinge is wrong, and doesn't match any screen shot / CGI version of a hinge I've seen.
In short, it looks like a crappy fake.

Here's the thing, with a kind of selective blur filter, the screen shot could POSSIBLY have visually modified the texture to be invisible. (POSSIBLY)The crappie BOM which I agree, is up to 2,100, thus far and ten days to go, looks like they took it out of the trash heap, I also find it hard to believe this is the hero version,Blood Oat Marker. Sometimes it's hard to realize what you see on film...
But the triangle on the right, is *NOT* the same. No blur filter is going to change the Physical shape of reality. This can not be the same object unless the triangle had been removed and replaced. In which case, they should SAY so, that it is not all original. That would be very important to bidding.
Look at the screen shot in my comparison, and look where the triangle BOTTOM is. Right at the bottom of the Star on the right.
The auction Marker has a triangle that starts WAY below the star. It simply can not be the same physical object.

Looks like the hinge was silver soldered in place at some point, either initially or because it became detached after the fact.
Yep, in the scene I posted, he holds it, opens it, pricks his finger, and puts the bloody fingerprint on the marker. I captured it right after he leaves the fingerprint. Clearly the optimal time when this character uses it. There is a shot earlier in the beginning where (this?) marker of his is shown and it only has John Wick's fingerprint in it. And, it is only shown briefly. I would wonder if the first one shown would be different.....but Why ?

I apologize for the terrible screen shots (they are actually pics of my iPad screen), but I believe this is the marker that is for auction at Prop Store. These pics are from the scene where D’Antonio first comes to Wick.
You can see the rust like distressing as well as the dent in the skull. In the second pic you can see what appears to be the blob of silver solder on the hinge and the larger triangle pointer at 3 o’clock.
If I had to guess, they had one version with the needle fixed for pricking your finger and one version without it for scenes that did not require it.

The marker displayed on the road show and the prop store one both use a different font than the chronicle collectibles version. Notice the letter Q in particular.
Also the dots between each star and word are bigger on the CC version. The crowns are different also between screen used and the CC version.

This looks like the auction marker !! And yes, as suggested, it is blurry enough because it's not a close up, that you can not see that it might have the texture that the auction marker does. You can also see in the auction marker photo that there is a small drop or "RED" where John's fingerprint would be. (look close) But no red what the other fingerprint would be, and my screen shot suggests that the second fingerprint would overlap the silver solder of the hinge.
So, the auction marker wasn't really for a close up shot, only a distance shot, that's why it doesn't have the more smooth surface and flawless appearance of the screen shot marker that I provided.
