    Does anyone knows what was the fate of the many Saving Private Ryanb props used in the movie??

    Eg : Uniforms, Field Gear, Fake weapons?? Even vehicles?? Both US and German....

    I saw quite a number of them for auction on Ebay.

    Thanks in advance

    Many of SPR props are for sell at different times on ebay. I see many 2nd ranger Btn helmets and patches for sale, and every so often you will see a tunic, or boots-etc.

    Try www.propguns.com

    My MP-40 was used as a prop for that movie and was purchased on that site. However, when I recieved it, the MP-40 was verified as a real weapon. It just had a dummy reciever. As far as I know, some went thru a place in New Jersey that specializes in this kind of thing. If you're looking for more, call the number at the site and ask for Bryson Kottle.

    Hi Erich,

    Thanks for the URL, Unfortunately, I could not find any Prop MP40 on their site....

    I will e-mail the vendor and ask him about it.

    Do you have other sources??

    Regards
