Our expert's notes

John McClane's (Bruce Willis) Beretta sidearm and “Seasons Greetings” tape from John McTiernan's action thriller Die Hard. New York cop McClane wielded his trusty Beretta M92F throughout the film as he battled the band of terrorists in Nakatomi Plaza, using a strip of Christmas-themed tape to secure the weapon to his back for his final showdown with Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman).

This stunt version of McClane's sidearm was used for scenes in which a live-firing pistol was not required. Made of rubber, it is intricately cast, with full production markings and the serial number C63121Z present on the frame and slide. The tape features a repeating design, with the text “Season's Greetings” in red gothic font, accented by sprigs of holly. There is some damage to the tape, with minor scratches and casting defects present on the pistol. The set is supplied with a letter of authenticity from property master Tommy Tomlinson. Dimensions (pistol): 18 cm x 5 cm x 12 cm (7" x 2" x 4 ¾")

£2,000 - 3,000
