Note other lots in the auction may close on June 29th or July 1st. Colin Sullivan's (Matt Damon) hero live-fire pistol from Martin Scorsese's Academy Award-winning crime thriller The Departed. Sullivan shot his criminal mentor and boss, Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson), upon learning that Frank was an FBI informant. This standard-issue SIG-Sauer P226 handgun with serial number "B18G737" engraved on the barrel was originally designed to fire blanks. Also included is a foam-padded weapons case and rental paperwork that corroborates the serial number and lists the dates this gun was rented to production. As it has been modified to fire blanks for the film industry, the pistol has an obstructed barrel, is no longer capable of firing real ammunition, and is sold as a collectible item only. It is still technically a firearm and thus must be transferred through an FFL dealer to a state where ownership is legal; export to foreign countries may be possible if the rifle is deactivated; please inquire for specific transfer details regardless of location. It is in excellent overall condition with minor signs of handling and use. Dimensions: 7.25" x 5.5" x 1.25" (18 cm x 14 cm x 3 cm) Live firearm; see firearms notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $2,500 - 3,500
