财佛龙婆银 Wat Bang Klan 佛历2528 龙婆艮爆枪财佛 • 招财挡险名不虚传
Overview — Roop Lor (cast) portrait of Luang Phor Ngern, “Pim Yai” proportions. The “Broken Gun” nickname is tied to the amulet’s strong protection reputation.
Collector Lens
In Thai amulet culture, a “Roop Lor” carries a different emotional weight from a flat votive: it reads like a living portrait — presence, posture, robe folds, and a face that devotees want to keep close. This Pim Yai “Broken Gun” line is especially collected for two reasons: the Bang Klan lineage (Luang Phor Ngern’s enduring fame) and the model’s field reputation for protective outcomes. For many collectors, it sits in the “wearable everyday guardian” category — not only a display piece, but a companion amulet.

History Notes: “Broken Gun” (Bang Klan Line)
“Broken Gun” is a nickname collectors use for certain Bang Klan portrait lines believed to carry especially strong kong krapan (protection) qualities — the sort of story where danger “doesn’t complete,” accidents “miss,” or harm “doesn’t land.” In the collector world, these names often arise from repeated word-of-mouth experiences over time. They are part of Thai devotional culture: not laboratory claims, but lived narrative.

Materials & Making (What Collectors Commonly Describe)
Bang Klan portrait amulets are often discussed as being cast from a blend of older sacred metals and temple-associated materials, especially when linked to restoration periods and the preservation of older objects. When you see collectors emphasize “old bells” or “older Buddha images,” the underlying idea is continuity: taking spiritually respected materials and giving them a new form for devotees to wear.
- Roop Lor casting: a process chosen for durability and detail (face, robe folds, posture).
- Base finishing: file marks and finishing lines are commonly examined as part of workmanship reading.
- Surface character: natural tone, handling glow, and “age texture” become part of the collector’s comfort.
Traditional Beliefs: Why People Wear This
In Thai devotional framing, Luang Phor Ngern lines are often sought for a blend of:
- Protection / Kong Krapan: safeguarding, avoiding harm, and steady outcomes in risky environments.
- Wealth draw / Maha Lap: smoother opportunities, business flow, and money “finding its way in.”
- Courage & presence: the psychological benefit of confidence and composure when facing pressure.
