Firefly fans, hold onto your (Jayne) hats. One of the most recognizable props from the beloved cult series is officially up for grabs. Jayne Cobb's personal weapon, Vera, has hit the auction block, giving fans the rare opportunity to own a piece of sci-fi history. If you've ever watched Firefly and thought "I want something shiny from the 'Verse," now's your chance.
Jayne Cobb's instantly recognizable 'very favorite' weapon is, as he describes it, a 'Callahan full bore auto lock, customized trigger, double cartridge thorough gauge.' And to say he's attached to it is an understatement.
This original prop is a shotgun modified for the show to look like a sci-fi brute. According to the auction listing, it features a folding skeleton stock, a two-part barrel, and all sorts of little 'greebles' added to give it utility when you're looking for jobs out on the rim. Some of the original parts have been lost over time, but the prop's ISS letter of authenticity confirms it as one of only ten made for Showtime, one of only two with a folding stock, and the one used on the Firefly set. Fans of the series will know exactly what this means: this is the Vera.
The auction minimum starts at $2,000, with current bids already at $4,000, and an estimate of $4,000–$8,000. It's officially a National Firearms Act item, so winning it would require ATF approval—but just imagine having this legendary piece displayed proudly in your collection.
Iconic Prop Auction Thrills 'Firefly' Fandom
Social media reactions are already buzzing with excitement. A Facebook post from a fan who saw Vera in person at a SAR show perfectly sums it up: "They had no idea what they had and I totally fanboy'd on them! Lucky to touch this piece of history." Other fans were equally expressive, with multiple comments of "Shiny!" and "If my lottery numbers hit tonight, I'm placing the winning bid tomorrow morning. Lol." Someone even jokingly asked, "Does it come with a box of grenades?"

As featured in the Firefly episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds," Jayne first absurdly offers Vera in trade for a wife because he values it so highly, then ends up using it to score the coup de grâce on the episode's bad guys as they threaten the cargo ship Serenity and its crew.
Seeing Vera leave the screen and enter the hands of a fan is a like watching a piece of the Firefly universe step into our world. There's a thrill in imagining it on display, reminding us of Jayne's antics and the show's enduring charm. Shiny indeed.
