How do I place an order?

Fight Instruction

So after all is said and done, how much is this going to cost?

(Assassins - continued)

There is no "package" for this show. We've covered about 120 productions and sometimes it seems that no two orders have ever gone out exactly the same. Sometimes a theatre might already have a couple of props in house that can work, sometimes they want to limit the number of guns that actually fire, sometimes the sound is taped only, sometimes there are a couple of background police that need guns ... you get the idea.

But let's go through a worst and best case scenario:

Assassins price comparison    
       
    Firing Non-firing
       
Booth Derringer 60.00 12.00
  revolver 32.50 12.00
Guiteau revolver 46.00 15.00
Czolgosz revolver 37.85 15.00
Zangara revolver 32.50 12.00
Ozwald rifle (non-firing only) 72.00 72.00
  revolver 30.00 15.00
Moore revolver 35.00 15.00
Fromme pistol 48.13 12.00
Byck revolver 30.00 10.00
Hinckley revolver 30.00 5.00

(one way) 

40.00 40.00
       
       
  total 493.98 235.00

That of course is assuming that Booth and Ozwald need both guns. What it does not include are the blanks, which can run from 19 to 90 cents each. That's right; if everyone in the show has to fire, you could be adding $50 to $200 just in blanks, so then you are in the $700 range.
