First I should introduce myself...
My name is Will, and while I may be a newcomer to this site I'm in a no way a new comer to Indiana Jones. My favorite film of the trilogy and of all time is Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yet I've always wondered about one bit: How does Belloq and the Nazi's get the emblem that goes on top of the staff of rah? There is only one, and Marion had it, who then gave it to Indy. Clearly, they only have one side of it, which leads me to believe the imprint on Toht's hand is somehow involved, but how?
Furthermore, is there any evidence in the film that Marion did "switch baskets" or are we left to assume she just did?
