Moscow Militia Captain Danko wielded his signature pistol when he teamed with American detective Art Ridzik (James Belushi) to stop a drug kingpin. This hand-painted black, high-density foam pistol comes from firearms expert Bernard C. White, who received it as a gift from production after advising the armory department on its development. The pistol was designed specially for the production by armorer Tim LaFrance, who combined elements of a P38 and Desert Eagle 357 Mk 1 following Walter Hill's request for "A (Walther) P38 but bigger and meaner. A P38 on steroids." White assisted in this process. Also included is a glossy color photo of Schwarzenegger holding the gun. It exhibits minor paint chipping and damage to the sight from production, but remains in good overall condition. Dimensions: 13" x 7" x 3" (33 cm x 17.75 cm x 7.5 cm) Ownership may be restricted in some countries; see replica firearm notice in Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
