BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES (1970) - Gorilla Soldier Rifle - A gorilla soldier rifle from Ted Post's Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Gorilla soldiers and their fellow apes carried crude brown rifles based on modified M1 Carbines throughout the film. Some of the rifles were later reused in the 1974 Planet of the Apes television series.

This rifle features a sculpted, solid wood body with a reddish-brown finish, a dowel added at front and painted black to resemble a barrel, a separate metal midsection bolt and sight element painted black, and two metal brackets with a black nylon shoulder strap. It exhibits flaking throughout the finish and some cracking along the wood body, most visibly near the dowel. Dimensions: 35" x 5" x 3" (89 cm x 12.75 cm x 7.75 cm x 3.75 cm)

Estimate: $1,200 - 2,400
