PROMETHEUS (2012) - Hero Flamethrower

PROMETHEUS (2012) - Hero Flamethrower A hero flamethrower from Ridley Scott's sci-fi prequel Prometheus. The crew of the Prometheus landed on the distant moon LV-223 seeking evidence of an alien culture. To the surprise of the crew's scientists, mercenaries on board the ship brought flamethrowers to the seemingly dead planet. These weapons were used by Vickers (Charlize Theron) on the infected Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green), and by Janek (Idris Elba) on the mutated Fifield (Sean Harris). This once-functioning flamethrower was custom-built for the film and features two gas tanks within an open metal frame. There is a black plastic trigger handle mounted at the rear of the flamethrower, with orange-coloured triggers. A carry handle juts out from the weapon, allowing the user to support it during use. The larger of the two tanks is decorated with a "Weyland Enterprises" logo sticker on each side of the canister. A plaque attached to the frame lists the makers of the lot, and gives the flamethrower's name as "Barbara". Decommissioned after use on the production, the flamethrower has small areas of rust. Dimensions: 95 cm x 22 cm x 38 cm (37 1/2" x 8 3/4" x 15") Estimate: £7,000 - 10,000 M This lot will be auctioned on Thursday, November 3rd.
