When you order any items on this page our supplier will make and ship the products described on this page directly to you.
. You may, in fact, also still order from any of the regular pages on our web site, and our system will save your order, but we won't be able to deliver those items until after March 1.
BTW: The cost of shipping and handing has been included by our suppliers for items on this page, hence, no additional shipping charges will be added.

THIS IS A TRUE WORK OF ART!

Sherlock Holmes's (as portrayed by Basil Rathbone) Official British Passort!

AN INCREDIBLE GIFT FOR THE SERIOUS SHERLOCKIAN COLLECTOR!
Based on the Paramount Pictures version of Sherlock Holmes, set in the 1940s, this passport replica covers the famous detective's travels through eight different countries. Authentically reproduced from vintage British passports from the World War II era. The information within is both printed and hand-written. The photograph of Holmes is that of Basil Rathbone, the face of whom has been most commonly associated with the character. The signature is compiled from Mr. Rathbone's own handwriting. Several different amazingly authentic looking visas have been replicated, and affixed to the pastport, to follow Mr. Holmes’s travels through: Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon, Sherlock Holmes in Washington, The Scarlet Claw, Pursuit to Algiers, and Terror by Night with the visas stamped and signed for each of the countries that this Holmes visited in his movies. Each of these passports is hand-made with meticulous care to detail so, please, try to order your passport at least a month before you actually need it. These do take a while to create, but they are worth the wait. A fantastic “bragging item” in any Sherlockian’s collection!
Imported from The Antipodes!

THE FAMOUS LETTERS OF TRANSIT

The "Letters of Transit"
	Rick finds himself in the possession of two very valuable documents, the infamous "letters of transit" from the French government giving a "carte blanche" escape from Casablanca and German occupied Europe. Very little is seen of the prop in the film, but every care has been taken to make these as accurate as possible. The text and stamps are positioned the same as the original prop. Most of the text was based on historic French passports and travel documents. The three stamps were copied from vintage originals. Even Charles de Gaulles' signature is copied from the real thing. (Notice: the "letters of transit" envelope is not included but can be ordered separately. See below.)

	When Rick is waiting at the train station for Ilsa, Sam hands him this letter. The farewell words of Ilsa start to bleed in the rain. This letter has been reproduced using an old fashioned fountain pen and actually smearing the ink with water, matching the original as much as possible. An incredible and heart tugging addition to any hobbyist's collection!
