Ahead of the Propstore Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction in Los Angeles this September, Brandon Alinger shares a preview of the Indiana Jones’ Bullwhip, Whip Holster, and Belt from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, as used by Harrison Ford.
The hero bullwhip is an 8-foot model crafted by David Morgan, the master whipmaker who supplied all the original whips for the classic Indiana Jones trilogy. Made from dark brown leather and featuring its original fall and cracker, the whip remains in excellent condition, showing only light wear from on-set use.
The whip is accompanied by Indiana Jones’ original belt and whip holster – these extremely rare pieces are the only known examples in private hands. An original production tag is also included, noting the set was designated for “Rideaway Scene.”
The piece has been in a private collection for decades and is coming to the collector’s market for the very first time. It was originally obtained from a production source who worked on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in the United States. Much of the motorcycle chase sequence was filmed in Marin County, California, and the whip is believed to have been used during those iconic scenes. Included with the lot is a production-used call sheet from the Marin County shoot, further supporting the whip’s attribution to those scenes. The motorcycle chase was filmed at the end of the production schedule and the whip, belt and holster may also have been used in earlier filming at the studio in the U.K. or on location in Spain.
This remarkable trio – the only complete set of its kind ever to be offered at public auction – is expected to ignite serious excitement among fans of Steven Spielberg’s beloved franchise with an auction estimate of $250,000 – $500,000.
