Description

"Listen Sammy, I'm not a very good shot, but the Samaritan here uses really big bullets."

Hellboy (Columbia, 2004), Samaritan Lightning Loader and Set of (4) "Special" 22mm Bullets. Of all the handcrafted props that populate Hellboy's (Ron Perlman) macabre steampunk world, few are as iconic as his signature sidearm, the Samaritan, and the specialized ammunition he uses to combat supernatural threats. Offered here is a production-aged Lightning Loader, crafted from distressed pot metal and fitted with 4- dense resin dummy rounds measuring approx. 3" x 2", each housed in a quick-release casing for rapid loading into the oversized revolver. Also included are (4) custom oversized bullets: 2- hand-tooled 2.25" x 1" brass rounds with lead tips, faux primers, and etched markings reading "BPRD," "22mm," and a stylized mystical symbol resembling the initials "DT"-possibly a tongue-in-cheek nod to director del Toro. The remaining 2- bullets measure 2.5" x 1" and feature brass and polished/painted aluminum projectiles resembling silver, with stamped collars likely intended for use against vampires or other lycanthropic creatures. These props appear during Hellboy's first combat sequence at the museum, where he battles the demon Sammael. All components exhibit intentional distressing, production wear, tarnishing, and adhesive residue from use on set. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the personal collection of Guillermo del Toro.
