Star Trek DS9 - Romulan Rifle

One of the interesting spin-off from DS9 is how they changed the way we view the Ferengis. They were first introduced in TNG to replace the Klingons as the main enemy of the Federation. Well it didn't really turn out as such with most thinking the idea ridiculous. Nonetheless they kept appearing in a few TNG episodes.

Then in DS9 Ferengis came to be a bigger part of the show with Quark the bartender, Rom his brother and Nog the annoying kid... well at first at least. Pretty sure a lot of us thought at first... "What the heck!!!" but then as it turned out I came to really like the Ferengis in DS9.

They had their moments, sometimes great,  in episodes like: "The House of Quark", "The Magnificent Ferengi", "The Assignment",...


This is the reason I decided to display this Romulan rifle in memory of the episode "The Magnificent Ferengi" where a bunch of Ferengis used those to oppose the Dominion... well a small part of the Dominion anyway.

    It's the real deal. Production made rifle, not sure where or if it was screenused as doing a match on screen would be quite hard.

    Got from Ebay or an auction. You should check PIH or Screenused websites.
