Well, I own just about all the authentic stuff you could ever dream of, but I'm going to have to say the favorite would be something not even found in the movies. Some of you know of the "Indiana Jones Khyber Bowie" which is a good 2 foot long short sword to be more precise. At first I though that this might be a gimmick, but when I recieved it I discovered this is one fine piece of equipment. May I add that I've even sliced the back of my heal to the bone with it (very careless accident, I suppose it's not a toy). I'm willing to say that it's better quality than the sword props used even in the movies! Although it's not an 'authentic' prop, who cares? This is one top quality product and no collection is complete without it.
