Description
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Countrypump-action beak-nosed "Klingon" Disruptor prop weapon. (Paramount, 1991) When "Kirk" (William Shatner) and "Dr. McCoy" (DeForest Kelley) beam over to a crippled Klingon ship, they are met by General Kerla who brandishes this specific prop. Kerla is the only character to ever use this style of weapon in any incarnation of Star Trek, which makes this a one-of-a-kind screen-used piece. The traditional Klingon disruptor prop was innovated to include "pump-action" by adding a sliding piece allowing the actor to simulate shotgun-style pump action. Director Nick Myers asked for this detail so that the weapon would be capable of physical action, unlike the traditional static pistols used by all other Klingons. Despite that imperative, that motion was never shown on screen. Unlike most Klingon weapons re-purposed in various Star Trek projects, this prop maintains its one-time use status, making it one of the rarest of all Star Trek pistols. Expertly studio weathered and distressed. Slide operates smoothly. Built by prop-maker Richard Coyle who has verified its authenticity. Originally obtained from one-time Star Trek prop master Don Hulett.Auction Info
