About Film and Movie Props

Movie props fall into two categories: 1) those that were actually used on a movie set in production, and 2) replicas, sometimes even licensed by the studios, which can often seem very real. Most dealers do background checking on film props to make sure they're indeed the real thing, and not a replica or a backup that was never used.
