Description

Van Williams "Britt Reid/Green Hornet" Hero Gas Gun Weapon from The Green Hornet (TCF-TV, 1966-1967). Vintage original signature Hornet hero gun prop constructed of carved wood, textured grip and Green Hornet design motif, with barrel and upper casing of metal. Painted in gunmetal gray with green grips and retaining the hornet decal on both sides of the grip. The guns went through three primary paint schemes until one was found that would photograph best on screen. The butt of the grip features a discreet hinged panel (not able to be opened). There is a depressible metal thumb-trigger at the rear of the casing. The gun is visible in early filmed garage segments when the Hornet checks his weapons and inserts a "gas" cartridge in the gun before he and "Kato" (Bruce Lee) roll out in "Black Beauty". Measuring 9.5" x 5". Exhibiting minor age, production wear, and rubbing and light scratching to paint. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the Collection of Greg Jein.
