| Logan's Run sandman gun.
Original NOT a fan made replica?!
Purchased from John Fairless of The Great Escape in TX at the Wondercon
convention many years ago. Authentication pending! Once we have a
complete background check on this before we state this as actual screen
used! Only a few in existence
to the best of our knowledge as only 16 were made for the movie and was
recycled for the short lived TV series EXHIBIT ONLY
Info culled online below:
"Only 16 working flame pistols were made in
1975 at a cost to MGM of $24,000 ($1,500 each). They were later modified
to make them sturdier for the television series because it was too
costly to build new flame pistols. Total original cost, plus
modification cost, are estimated to be $2,300 per pistol. They were, and
still might be, some of the most unique, functional, special effects
props ever created. Built at MGM studios, under the design and direction
of Fred Cramer, the bottom of the handle is etched "MGM 8094". |
