Wondering about the "screen used" also , does it say ehat kind of documentation it comes with ?
Did the production rent all Baptys sterlings ? Or did they have more in stock , hope they really can document this from the serial number .... If not this is shady

1) thats awesome that your t-track ended up on this piece! Is there not supposed to be track around the lower barrel holes too?
2) can someone explain to a guy who's never seen or held a Sterling - how is that scope mount bar held onto the gun? I see it pokes in the front hole, but it looks like its just sitting in the rear sight and folded into the forward hole. That can't be sturdy :lol

The actual story is a good friend in the industry had some good contacts within Bapty. He was allowed to go through crates and boxes for props to use on another film. In doing so he unearthed the cache of the Sterlings and misc parts. He had made arrangements to secure the purchase of the lot when another party found out and out bid his already agreed upon purchase price via another party within Bapty. They were all rebuilt with replacement parts cast and attached where needed. What youre looking at is an original Bapty rental Sterling with replica parts. BUT, unlike the majority of that cache, this one is a live fire Sterling.
Not considering the recent going rates for a M19/ M32 scope :lol

Atm i see only overpriced offerings, where people hope to find a dumb one. :lol
My last bought, a few months ago, was slighly over 300€. Last deac Sterling some weeks ago was 350€.
Agreed, but be honest...you´d also try to get as much $ from a sale as possible, as long as people ARE willing to pay insane amounts.
At 300 Euro each., I´d buy THREE of them instantly.
After finishing all current blasters, I´ll have -only- two left, with one being kind of special with crinkle-paint finish, addtl. lenses etc.
Back on topic...
I´d never pay that much for a re-worked/ re-conditioned blaster myself. It is "a" bapty sterling, so what??? Where´s the proof, that this one has been used in SW? Is it screen-matched? Have we seen that strange muzzle-tip on any of the ANH blasters (doesn´t the stunt ESB "pugman" E11 show this kind of muzzle, without bajonet "ring")?

This only works as long people pay those stupid prices. :lol
Me too, or even more. But unfortunately he had only one.
What a horror scenario :eek - wait, atm i only have 2 real ones.
I agree.
