This limited edition licensed replica is no longer produced
and is exceedingly difficult to find. Many visitors
to this site ask where to buy one. Every now and then,
they will turn up on eBay, and the memorabilia dealer
Reel
Art sometimes has them in stock. But be prepared
to spend a lot of money....
Star Trek and Terminator 2: Judgment Day props.

creator, Rick Ross.
The C&S Blaster -- quite simply the most accurate
reproduction created of Deckard's sidearm from Blade
Runner. Fabricated by the legendary Richard Coyle
in partnership with Phil Steinschneider. Read the incredible
story behind the recreation of this prop here.

A New Hope); lightsabers (see below for details).
Bottom shelf: Rebel Fleet Trooper Blaster (scratchbuilt);
Imperial Stormtrooper Blaster (converted MGC Sterling
SMG replica with real M-38 tank periscope); Imperial
Biker Scout Blaster; SinglePoint scope (used in the
construction of several Star Wars blaster props).
Close up of Han Solo's Blaster. This piece is no longer
in my collection, as I upgraded to the officially licensed
version by Master Replicas.
This is an Artist Proof of the officially licensed
replica that was given to me by Master Replicas for
providing some legal advice on the federal "Look-Alike"
law, which requires most replica firearms to be marked
with a bright orange plug in the front. I was able to
cite a provision that excludes antique firearms from
the marking requirements, permitting the replica to
remain accurate without an unsightly orange plug in
the front.

The One Ring. This beautiful 14 ct. gold replica is
made by Jens
Hansen Studios, the New Zealand jewelers who produced
the props for the movie. Display box is the "Chelsea"
music box available from Bombay Company for approximately
US $35. Chain is inaccurate and has been replaced by
the Jens Hansen version identical to the one used in
the film (not shown -- available at their web site).
Close up of the One Ring. This replica is virtually
identical to the screen-used prop borne by Elijah Wood
as Frodo Baggins.
Close up of the Jens Hansen One Ring. My preciousss....
Another picture of the Jens Hansen One Ring. To its
right is a licensed replica by Badali
Jewelers (no longer in my collection). Very nice
engraved replica, but not movie-accurate.
And another picture of the One Ring, times two.....
The folks who sold me the One Ring were kind enough
to provide me with some authentication. I believe I
was one of the first collectors (if not the first)
to obtain this replica from the Jens Hansen workshop.
Shortly after my purchase, the workshop offered the
ring on its web site for general retail sale, along
with a formal certificate of authenticity and a custom
display box. But mine, with its personal note and "no
frills," carries much sentimental value, since
I had to track down the jewelers and convince them to
sell me the ring.
Original screen-used business cards from American
Psycho.
Original screen-used submarine schematic from James
Cameron's The Abyss.
Some Star Wars toys, along with a promotional
