Object
Nepalese Thug's Luger Pistol
A compact Luger pistol wielded by the Nepalese thug during the Nazi raid on The Raven saloon. Its sleek German design is drawn in close-quarters threats, including the saloon firefight (where Indy kills the thug before it is fired), the Tanis airstrip confrontation (where a Nazi pilot attempts to shoot Indy with it), and the flaming Tabernacle scene (where Nazis grip it tightly during Indy's Ark rescue). The weapon embodies the lethal intent of Nazi collaborators and is consistently countered by Indy and Marion, never successfully fired in the protagonists' presence.
