Remembered Today:

A Hollywood Prop


Steve1871

Recommended Posts

In the Great War, Germany used a lot of S71 Bayonet’s. The movie was for a much earlier period in Japan, the movie is   The Last Samurai 

with Tom Cruise, The Movie used the same M71 ( 1871) Mauser and Bayonet’s. The prop is the bayonet and is exelent condition and detail

the leather is very soft, the buckle is aluminum brass colored, the cartridge bot is all leather with full interior. The bayonet is all plastic, hilt and blade. It was copied down to the unit markings on cross guard

In a few pic’s, I used a real S61 bayonet ( left in pic’s) to compare.    Hope you agent’s like

Greetings from Locked Down Sherwood Forest.

Really amazing quality for a film prop, it would stand close scrutiny. Nice when Hollywood gets it right.

I have a few film props but nothing as nice as that.

I hope that all of you out there are keeping well and cheerful during these troubled times.

Thanks Steve, I remember seeing them in the film and at first wondered where did they get so many then the frontal lobe system kicked in... Sure is a very good one!

Southern California has been home  on and off for too many years. I have a very long time friend, sells Militaria and old to antique arms too. He would tell me of the guy, from one of the many prop houses for Hollywood, he was trying to buy around 10 or more M71 rifles and bayonets that would be refinished for some “secret” ( The Last Samurai) movie. Since I collect M71, he would have to hide any ( makers) that I did not have. This excellent prop did not come up till about 2-3 years after the movie
