I doubt anyone uses original TDs as props anymore. MGM dumped almost their entire prop gun dept during the sale. All the parts went too. Doubt an insurance company would cover 150 year old stuff on the set. Repops and injected plastic have taken over. I cleaned up on accoutrements too and came away with loads of original stuff from revolution, Civil, Indian, Spanish American and WWI. Bannermans supplied much of what early studios used and i found rare sawback Boer war and original Brown bess bayonets for pennies. About broke axle on Uhaul.
