Our expert's notes

The Bride's (Uma Thurman) hero pistol from Quentin Tarantino's martial arts film Kill Bill: Vol. 2. The Bride carried her pistol when she tracked down Bill (David Carradine) to his apartment, and found her daughter in Bill's care. She also wielded her pistol in a flashback, batting an assassin who attacked her in her hotel room.

The pistol is a Star Firestar M45 with a custom extended barrel, which can be unscrewed and removed. The gun features a stainless steel finish with a plastic textured grip and is engraved with the serial number "2062018". It has been sympathetically deactivated, with the magazine release, hammer, safeties and trigger still functional, though the barrel of the gun is blocked and the slide no longer moves. It is accompanied by an official deactivation certificate.

Interestingly, there is a minor continuity error regarding the pistol: when The Bride first arrived at Bill's apartment, she held the weapon, ready to enter. At this point the gun did not have the custom extended barrel. However, once she entered the apartment, the pistol had the extension attached. The gun has some minor wear from production use and age, including some scuffs and scratches, most notably on the slide and barrel. Dimensions: 22.5 cm x 3.5 cm x 12 cm (9" x 1 1/2" x 4 3/4")

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The gun was produced by the now defunct company "Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A.", who were a Spanish arms manufacturer based in Eibar.
