John McClane's (Bruce Willis) stunt SIG-Sauer P220 Combat and Jack McClane's (Jai Courtney) stunt Beretta 92FS from John Moore's A Good Day to Die Hard. John used his SIG-Sauer on the helicopter to gain cockpit access. Though primarily used by John throughout the Die Hard franchise, Jack used the Beretta as he fought Yuri Komarov (Sebastian Koch).
Originating from the collection of prop master Mike Papac and modeled after real-world SIG-Sauer P220 Combat and Beretta 92FS pistols, these dense rubber pistols have static triggers attached to the trigger guards. This lot exhibits chipped paint on the SIG-Sauer and material pitting from production creation. Dimensions: (largest) 8.5" x 6" x 1" (21.75 cm x 15.25 cm x 2.75 cm)
Ownership may be restricted in some countries; see replica firearm notice in Buyer's Guide.
Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
Mike Papac is among Hollywood's most respected armourers. Active in the film industry since the late 1970s, he served as weapons specialist on action classics including Lethal Weapon and Die Hard, and as property gun master for Predator - all within an 18-month span. By the early 1990s, Papac had become a trusted resource for leading directors such as Tony Scott, Renny Harlin, and Richard Donner, collaborating throughout the decade with stars including Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. His career has encompassed work as prop master and armourer on some of cinema's most successful franchises, from Iron Man and Man of Steel to acclaimed action comedies like Three Kings and Red. Original hero pieces from the Die Hard films are exceptionally rare, and Propstore is proud to present these examples from Mike Papac's personal collection - offered to the public for the first time.
