Just walking near where I work in London, I saw in the window of Planet Hollywood "restaurant" the actual prop screen used whip ! (with a plaque etc. etc.) Thought you guys may be interested ?

Wasn't the false grail sold in auction a few months ago?
Pictures?

Be wary of what they hang in a Planet Hollywood as being 'screen used'.
For example, the 'screen used' jacket for Raiders that is hanging in the Las Vegas restaurant is an A2 flight jacket from Hanover Street, but the plaque says 'screen used by Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark', complete with accompanyng photo from the film.
The jacket has knit cuffs and eveyrthing.

The grail they had was the one he holds up in the film referring to it as the humble chalice created by a carpenter. I can try get some pics but will have to go up that way again, will see how I get on ... It will make me look like some kind of weirdo though, taking photos of a restauratn window with diners directly on the other side ! haha.

So the REAL grail then? The *true* grail?
Cause there were a bunch of those made for the film, not just one. Though I doubt they have any. Probably just a fan-made reproduction like what you can buy from vendors here.

I think someone once posted pics of that whip - taken during one of the London summits if I'm not mistaken. Certainly looked like a period correct well used Morgan.
