I would just say, the current owner might have checked (and tightened) the screws to make sure nothing was loose after all of this time. Maybe not, but just a quick once-over with a screwdriver to make sure nothing could work loose.

You're right they are different and some of the wear on the barrel is definitely different. I wonder how many of these there out there (I'd always assumed just the one), and why they're showing a Propstore certificate?

Point still stands that $5m is crazy!

Yeah, but free shipping!

As far as I recall the gun did sell at the PropStore auction. The PropStore supporting documentation is in the pictures on the GunBroker web page along with a certificate from Bapty.

Maybe the gun was purchased and then shipped to different country. Perhaps Customs forms stated it was a deactivated movie prop and they had to open for inspection?

It probably was an aftersales purchase, else the "unsold" on the auction page makes no sense.

Oh my god, I just saw this. Physical damage can be replicated, but if there are people in the biz, I refer to them.

Interestingly it didn't sell at the Propstore auction a few years ago, with a guide of £40-60,000 and now it's got a $5m price tag...

Maybe everyone on TheRPF should chip in and own a g

Was on the fence before, but definitely tempted now because of the free shipping! Wonder how much Tax and import duty will I have to pay for it to be shipped to the UK ..
