Random gun crankery.

Remember in my NRAAM coverage I threw in a photo, “At the weird intersection of SF geekery and gun geekery”?

Here’s some more deets for you.

Perhaps the most iconic surplus firearms used as props in the movie however was the Mauser C96 pistol or “Broomhandle” Mauser, which would not only become the Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. Model 44 blaster carried by many Imperial officers, but also the iconic BlasTech DL-44 heavy blaster pistol carried by the stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking, Nerf-herder himself, Han Solo.

RIA estimates $300,000 to $500,000 for this one. I’m not sure how this compares with Indy’s S&W revolver, as I can’t find any information on what that went for (or even if it was ever sold).

The Firearm Blog also has a story.
