Before you learn anything of the character, before a word is spoken, before you even see his face, Indiana Jones uses his bullwhip.

It’s a wonderful moment that opens Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and it’s the crack of the whip that seems to linger in moviegoers memories. During filming Harrison Ford became an expert in the use of this deadly weapon and along with the fedora and pistol it has become the world famous calling card for the character.

This bullwhip came from the personal collection of a senior crew member who worked closely with Harrison Ford on the original three movies. It is 10feet long and skilfully made from 12 plait natural tan kangaroo hide by legendary whip maker David Morgan www.davidmorgan.com who also made the whips for Catwoman in Batman Returns and Antonio Banderas as Zorro.

The whip shows evidence of heavy use during filming including dark markings where it was worn on a belt loop and considerable wear on the handle and cracker. Instantly recognizable to film fans the world over, we are very proud to have this signature Harrison Ford prop in the Prop Store collection.
