A friend of mine bought the entire inventory of the old 20th Century Fox Prop Studio...Title II Weapons. When he got out there to pick up all of the weapons they showed him four little Wooden Footlockers and when he opened them they were 60mms in perfect shape !! Since he did not have a DD License, he told them that he couldn't take them and their response was "It's ALL' or NONE!" So he got on the horn with BATF and they sent an agent over and all that he made them do was De-Mill the Tubes. Need I say more? Legally it's a Black Powder Muzzle Loaded Mortar, 1ea, Coors Light Caliber !!

The Bipod, Baseplate and Sight/w case are in perfect condition. There is a label on the footlocker from when it was shipped from VMI bacK to 20ty Century Fox after filming the Movie Taps.

Fred also got the BAR that Steve McQueen carried in the film The Sand Pebbles complete with a letter stating that. Also, the Water Cooled .50s that were used in Tora Tora Tora. I could go on and on. I was his "Armorer" and kept all of his stuff running.
