Synopsis
He's ready for anything! In the Star Wars Saga, Luke has had to use a variety of weapons, from hunting rifles to the skull he found in the bottom of a Rancor pit! While this weapon is not as elegant as a lightsaber, this unique blaster replica is modeled after the one Luke used throughout The Empire Strikes Back. With machined aluminum and brass parts, die-cast metal and plastic components, and a display case, this numbered replica is a can't miss addition to any collector's growing armory! Limited to just 1,500 pieces, this item is sure to be hard to find and a treasured collectible for years to come. In Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker's Blas Tech DL-44 blaster was a real antique German 7.63mm semi-automatic pistol, unlike Han Solo's which had been made from a modern replica of the same firearm. The front barrel was passed through a specially machined bright aluminum flash-suppressor which closely followed the look of Han Solo's DL-44 from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. A custom bracket was fitted to the right side of the gun with a single beveled knurled knob, which housed a M19 azimuth sight scope. On the left side of the gun, two plastic model kit parts provided additional surface detailing to complete Luke Skywalker's DL-44 blaster. Luke's weapon differed in many other subtle ways from the weapon carried by his compatriot, Han Solo, therefore was quite distinct in its own right.
