You, too, can own the steampunk cosplay gun blade that a New York police officer confiscated from a man in Queens last week.

It’s on Amazon for $44, listed as “STEAMPUNK GUN BLADE SWORD from Nylon Shoulder Sheath, A Must for your Costume or Collection, Finely Crafted Antique Finish, Laser-Etched and Engraved Accents, Spinning Barrel-26 Overall.” It went viral this weekend as the subject of a NYPD brag-tweet:

Recently, your @nypd90pct patrol cops responded to a call of a man with a gun in Brooklyn.

Thanks to their swift response & help from the community, an individual (currently on probation) possessing this weapon & fake FBI shield was safely apprehended & taken to jail. pic.twitter.com/QbacGpN5bx
