Eli (Denzel Washington) Prop Pistol from The Book of Eli
This non-firing prop pistol was used by the character "Eli," portrayed by actor Denzel Washington, in the 2010 motion picture, "The Book of Eli." The prop weapon is modeled after a Heckler & Koch HK45 pistol and is constructed of dense rubber with hand painted details to simulate the appearance of a live firing metal weapon. Since the hero metal HK45 was sanded and worn down to look like an antique firearm (film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world), this prop replica received equal treatment to look weathered. The actual pistol is currently on display at the National Firearms Museums located at the NRA headquarters in Fairfax, VA.
Mr. Washington used this prop weapon in multiple scenes during the film. It is clearly visible when he is first introduced to Claudia (Jennifer Beals) and Solara (Mila Kunis), as well as when he fights off Carnegie (Gary Oldman) and his men in town. The weapon is also seen when he attempts to escape from the house of an elderly couple suspect of being cannibals. "The Book of Eli" follows the story of Eli, a nomad in a post-apocalyptic world, who is told by a voice to deliver a mysterious book to a safe location on the West Coast of the United States.
The gun is in good screen used condition with evidence of wear from its extensive use on the film. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity.
