Description:

This lot is comprised of a hard plastic/rubber copy Thompson submachine gun "movie prop" actually used in various sequences of the HBO series "Band Of Brothers" along with an original webbing rig worn during the movie in the chapter, "Attack on Carentan, Normandy" scene by Bart Ruspoli who played PFC Edward Tipper. The Thompson "prop" is a non firing non working movie machine gun. The webbing rig is complete with belt, suspenders with felt shoulder pads, pack, canteen, two magazine pouches, one utility pouch, first aid packet and a trenching tool. Accompanied by a "Letter of Authenticity" from Rare Props that certifies that the Thompson SMG was used in various sequences in the mini series "Band of Brothers" and obtained directly by Rare Props from Hatfield Studios after the filming.

Rating Definition:

The Thompson "prop" is good with cracks in the receiver and magazine and caked with mud. The webbing rig is in fair condition with holes and fraying. The handle of the trenching tool is broken. All items, obviously show the riggers of use on a famous movie set.
