I spent my early days in the technical side of show biz. Mostly stage production shows on the LV Strip, but some TV, and movie stuff.
If you knew someone, there were treasures from the Prop Departments from the Hollywood Movie production companies. I picked up a few items, but no firearms. A friend picked up an M1 Garand that was used in the musical South Pacific.
I shot this rife, and in fact,, this is the rifle that taught me about the little surprise on the last shot.
Anyone familiar with the Garand knows what I'm talking about.
I wish I could go back in time, and ask around about Parker's. This stuff is probably considered to be contraband these days.
