I was visiting Gettysburg back in the early 90's just after they finished the motion picture of the same name, one of the souvenir shops had replica LeMat revolvers (made by F.Llipietta, I think) for $500...All steel; proofed; and fully functional...Beautiful repros...

And as for the hand mortar, the movie "A Bridge Too Far" was on The Military Channel a few nights ago with British soldiers shooting mortar bombs out of a clever contraption that looked like a blunderbus...
