Master Replicas Han Solo's ANH LE


As seen in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. Carefully recreated from original archival materials and fully authorized and endorsed by Lucasfilm Ltd. Constructed from durable machined and die-cast metal, each replica is polished and assembled by hand. This non-firing replica comes with a presentation box, a museum-quality display case, a polished metal plaque and a Certificate of Authenticity Purchase includes a one-year membership in Master Replicas Collectors Society.

The following are some of the more important and useful pieces of information that Master Replicas used to create its highly accurate replica:

The pistol used as the base for the blaster is an 1896 Mauser C-96 9mm Parabellum. The "flash suppressor" on the end of the barrel is believed to be the nozzle from an antique fire extinguisher. The scope used on the blaster was a WWII-era sighting scope made by a German company, Hensoldt Wetzlar. The "heat sink" on the front of the grip frame was made by gluing together three engine cylinders from a plastic model airplane kit.

Source: A New Hope
Year: 2002
Part Number: SW-101
Production Sequence: #1175  (Limited Production Of 1500 Pieces)




Picked up this bad boy in a recent trade  ;D

This non-firing replica

Is that really necessary, MR?  I was under the impression that no one thought this was a firing replica.  Lol.  We don't have that tech quite yet.

Seriously though, this is a beauty.  This has always been my second favorite blaster, after the E-11 - and this is a fantastic replica.  Nice aquisition Biggs.  I'm jealous.  :D

nice.   8)   I have the 'elite edition' -- basically the same thing without the weathering -- I also have the han ESB


btw, does the trigger work on the LE? 
ie: if you xxx the hammer, will the trigger release it? *click* (like the trigger on the EE?)  8)

or is it a static trigger like the han ESB? (doesn't move at all)  :-\

Trigger works  :D

"This non-firing replica"  "Is that really necessary, MR?"

Sadly...yes.... especially for props based off real-world weapons (Like the Han blasters and the Stormtrooper blaster for example)

You wouldn't believe some of the stories I've heard over the years involving "replicas" and issues with homeland security among other things.

They have to say that for legal reasons.  I remember that the game maker for 'guess who' got sued because their game peices didn't actually talk....


Time will bring the real end of our trial.  One day they'll be no remnants

Seriously?  That's ridiculous.
