Title
"Gorilla Soldier" Hero Submachine Gun Aluminum Stock/Housing from Beneath the Planet of the Apes (TCF, 1970).
Description
Vintage original prop gun stock/housing constructed of tooled aluminum with wooden barrel, ammo clip and other embellishments installed post-production for display purposes. During the film production, stocks like this were built over an original modified Madsen M-50 submachine gun that fired blanks (following production, the firearm was removed from the housing). The aluminum casing has been expertly studio painted to appear as carved wood, replicating the style of the retro-tech of the original Planet of the Apes movie. The prop measures 30" x 9.5" x 2". Exhibiting age, production wear, and some scratching to paint. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the Collection of Greg Jein.
