The prop gun that Harrison Ford used in his role of Han Solo in the 1977 film Star Wars sold for over $1 million at an auction last week.
The iconic ‘blaster,’ a converted Mauser pistol modified to only shoot blanks, is the last of three created for use in the film.
According to the Rock Island Auction company that hosted the event, the DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol was expected to secure a bid of around $500,000. Still, an avid fan exceeded their projections at $1,057,000 to win.
Ford, who brought the character Han Solo to life in the now titled Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope, wielded the prop throughout the entire film.
