Han Solo’s original blaster is an iconic piece of film history, and the last original prop of the sci-fi weapon is anticipated to bring in over $500,000 when it hits the auction block.

The prop of Han Solo’s BlasTech DL-44 Heavy Blaster is an original that was used in the production of 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope, according to a report.

It was found after it supposedly went missing forever by Rock Island Auction Co. in Illinois.

The prop will feature at RIAC’s premier auction later this month.

The blaster is the only survivor of the three props that Harrison Ford used during his time portraying Han Solo in the original trilogy, the report noted.

His blaster from Return of the Jedi sold for $550,000 in 2018 when it was acquired by Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

The iconic movie weapon takes its inspiration from the German-made Mauser 96, and it was meant to make Han Solo appear like a gunslinger, according to the report.
