Han Solo's blaster from StarWars just sold at auction for a massive sum of money!
Movie memorabilia — particularly props — remain some of the most sought-after items for fans and collectors and the more iconic the movie, the more valuable the prop. That certainly is the case for props and items from the Star Wars universe. According to TMZ , the last surviving screen-used blaster used by Han Solo in Star Wars: A New Hope has just sold at auction for more than $1 million.
The blaster — officially referred to as the DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol — was one of three used during the filming of the first Star Wars movie and as was noted above, was the last surviving model. The blaster was made from a Mauser C96 firearm that was converted to a non-firing weapon for the film.
"Arguably the most iconic movie firearm of all time, it remains in fine overall condition and is converted to a non-firing for blanks only," the blaster's rating definition on the auction website reads. The description of the auction lot also notes that the blaster came with a Han Solo photograph signed by Ford.
The blaster is just the latest piece of Star Wars memorabilia to go up for auction for a considerable sum of money. Earlier this year, a vintage, unopened VHS copy of Star Wars was put up for auction and had been expected to bring in around $60,000. The tape, a 1984 first release of Star Wars: A New Hope that had been rated NM 8.
