Notably the top rail and sides feature mock levers and hand grips. The piece is intentionaly weathered with a misting of metallic blue paint and silver drybrushing to resemble a worn metal look. The pistols grip is painted in a faux wood color with darker tones added for weathering. This rare piece was used primarily in scenes when the firearm was used to hit ot strike an actor or stunt person. Measures 8½″ × 6″ × 1¾″.
