Han Solo believed there’s nothin’ fairly like blaster at your aspect, and ‘Star Wars’ followers appear to agree — that is why Harrison Ford‘s precise prop from the unique movie fetched simply over a mil at public sale!!!
The Rock Island Auction Company held an occasion for collector firearms over the weekend … they’ve offered nice finds earlier than like John Wayne‘s weapon from “True Grit” and Alexander Hamilton‘s pistols, however come on — there’s nothing fairly like this.
The DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol snagged $1,057,500 at public sale — however that chunk of change is nothing to a die-hard fan of the galaxy far, distant.
FYI … it was estimated to go for $300K-500K — nearly as massive of a leap as one to hyperspace.
The blaster’s the identical one used on-screen by the reckless smuggler himself in “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” … and is the final surviving instance of the three fashions that have been made for the film.

The piece was initially a Mauser that George Lucas‘ group transformed to a non-firing weapon for blanks solely … sorry, no womp rat taking pictures with this factor.
The public sale went wild, too — climbing up and up till it hit that $1 MILLION mark … clearly, the winner did not have a nasty feeling about this!!!
