Here’s the last batch of pictures from my road trip and that’s my visit with Mark Allen at Western Stage Props in Las Vegas.

The wall of whips was amazing Mark had whips from most of the better known whipmakers that have been making in 10 or 20 years! Including early Strain and Nolan whips.

Did Mark show you the 8 foot David Morgan bullwhip that was used in Raiders? It was owned by stunt coordinator Glenn Randall of the film.

I don’t think he has that anymore…if I recall it sold at an auction awhile ago. If he still has it, he didn’t offer to show it to me.

Mark sold the whip a few years ago on ebay, I believe it went for somewhere around $40,000! I feel very lucky to have had the honor of seeing it in person and handling it a year or two before it was sold.
