Re: My National Treasure props
So far I got:
The Grey plastic inner tube
The Washington medallion
The ring box. Not 100% but very cool. The leather on the top is not the same but displaying it open with the medallion displayed you won't even see it. Getting rid of the gold stripe would be nice but for $3 it's just fine
Ben's notebook-Actually very nice little notebook.
$1 from his Grandpa
Magnoli DOI and Masonic medallion plus Tripoli Occular devices are all on the way along with JFK assasination paper.

My new master for the plank is done.
Some new details have been added!!
I'll be getting pics up at the end of the week, and will possibly start a new interest thread, just so you know

Re: My National Treasure props
Just a bit further to go on these, have a few going out in the next day or so for board members here including Jameth1971. I copied the Declaration on parchment for this group, seen under the glasses. The print outs are exactly from the National Archive files of scans of the Declaration full size, now and from an itaglio copied print condition. Had just enough extra parchment to do the project as an extra.
The back of the glasses frames should be finished tomorrow or this weekend. There is quite a bit of metal work involved to create the the frames side ear pieces, so they are going on last with this batch.

Re: My National Treasure props
Happy to be able supply you with the glasses and the extra bonus of the DOI's. I have sent them to Germany, Italy and Scotland now as well as a few in the US, nice to get a few out overseas. I do have another set half way made if anyone out there is interested in getting a pair.

Re: My National Treasure props
Inspired by fellow member Mr. THX I spent a lot of time today becoming an expert in Booth's Deringer. And yes it is spelled with only one r and not the two that is commonly and incorrectly used in many cases. See how much I learned.
Anywho here is the skinny
Booth's real gun now at Ford's Theatre
A very reasonbly priced replica
A real firing but more expensive kit
The most accurate Replica from several decades ago but can still be found on various gun auction sites
And Real ones for several thousand dollars also pop up from time to time.
I have posted links to all these along with prices in the first post of the this thread.
None are dead on. The engraving plates are diffferent and none of the replicas have the wood handles carved but still pretty cool.

Re: My National Treasure props
It's a shame none of the replica guns available are spot on for anyone interested in one for their collection! I am sure someone on these boards could make a much better job!!!! I know RelicMaker could totally nail this! But I guess it's one of those props that could be a bit controversial to some...
