Does anyone here have one and do you guys have any pictures?
I have been told that the following piece:

is a replica made by someone named Monsterman.The key I own came from a production source and is claimed to be a screen-used original which I have until now had no reason to doubt.I do not know the veracity of the information provided to me so I figure someone here might know.
 
When I visited Modern props in the '80's I got to see the console from that episode. Even they had repros since someone stole the keys.
 
I believe member "propologist" can ID that piece for you. If memory serves, he worked on original V props.
 
This is a "Monsterman" key:

cast off one of the original 6 prop keys---he did an excellent job, and unlike many keys on ebay the clear section (not yellowed like the ebay ones...)is completely clear and free of bubbles as Monsterman used a pressure cooker to force them out, also these are painted CORRECTLY.

Here is a cap of one from the show:

I don't think the one you have is one of his keys (note how smooth his work is, your appears rough).
 
The one you have pictured above is claimed by the owner to be an original apparently.
I have a question as I have some conflicting information.I am told that there were six keys made (3 stunts with matte finish and 3 hero keys with metallic finish) and someone else (who I think believes the above piece to be original) says there were only three.
Can anyone confirm either sets of information about the number of keys made and their finish?
 
Here is a better picture of my key without so much glare from the flash:

If that is in fact a Monsterman key above this is definitely not one of those.
I am also told that Monsterman used the picture Moocricket posted above to advertise his pieces for potential buyers.Can anyone confirm this?
