Holsters
Lot # 290 Lara Croft's (Angelina Jolie) Pair of Hero Pistols, Belt and Holster Rig LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER (2001) Lara Croft’s (Angelina Jolie) hero pistols and belt rig from Simon West’s video-game adaptation Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Synonymous with her character, Croft used her iconic weapons throughout the film, from the opening sequence in which Croft battles S.I.M.O.N., a sophisticated training robot, to her adventures in Cambodia and Siberia as she fought for possession of the legendary Triangle of Light. |
Under the supervision of stunt co-ordinator Simon Crane, Jolie went through an extensive physical and weapons training regimen to allow her to perform many of Croft’s stunt sequences herself. Croft’s character is ambidextrous, so Jolie was required to use pistols in both hands at the same time. For ease of use, her left pistol was modified with a custom slide-release switch for quick magazine changes.
The two hero firearms are 9mm Heckler & Koch USP Match pistols that feature black frames and stainless steel slides. They have been sympathetically deactivated with the slide, hammer, safeties, slide releases and magazine releases still functional. Deactivation certificates are included.
Accompanying the pistols is a rig comprising a pair of black leather holsters and a matching belt. The belt features a ‘Death’s Head’ buckle that is cast in resin and finished in faux-gold paint. The holsters have custom-designed clips to hold the guns in place, as well as adjustable straps for securing them firmly to the actor’s thighs.
Dimensions (per pistol): 24 cm x 4 cm x 15 cm (9 ½” x 1 ½” x 6”)
