896. Hero working gorilla rifle from Beneath The Planet of The Apes. (TCF, 1970) This rifle is constructed of two aluminum shells with leather strap, and is the ONLY known example of this rifle with the WORKING modified World War II carbine still inside, as all of the rifles from this film were cannibalized by gun collectors and the outer casings discarded. The original custom bayonet is attached and functional on the stock of the barrel. This is not just the only complete rifle known to exist, but also the finest example extant! $4000 - $6000
