Thanks - pretty cool article

it may be a prop I just dont think I have a way of verfying authenticity

I have contacted Heritage - they believe it is a movie prop but were not able to put a value on it because it is not something that they generally deal with

I also contacted an auction house in California that deals specifically with movie props. Maybe they can help with authenticity and value.

Either way it is pretty cool and looks real nice on display.

I will also contact the Movie Prop Association which is listed in the article and keep researching

If anyone else has any info or can lead me in the right direction i would appreciate it
