Star Wars ESB DL-44 blasters sale

I'm selling my entire ESB collection.

Please check the posts below for information and additional pictures on each blaster. Some customization options are available as well!

And if you are looking for Han's Hoth DL-44 (MGC) istead - I have one in a separate listing:

Star Wars - Han Solo ESB "Hoth" DL-44 MGC blaster

Offering the other of my 2 MGC builds for sale. I tried to make it as close as possible to the pictures I've seen including scratches, etc. This one is finished according to what's seen in the movie and BTS shots - Unpainted original grips, cap over the scope mount screws, less scratches on the...

ESB "Cut Port" - DL-44 - Luke Bespin

Blaster Factory steel kit. Weathered and stamped with the standard Mauser marks. I didn't stamp a serial as it is not know and I didn't want to stamp something random in case better pictures surface one day to show the real serial.

Vintage original M19 scope
Vintage original V8 greeblie

There are additional flash hiders and other options available - check below.

Price in the configuration as pictured: $1600. Please contact me if you are interested in some of the other options and for shipping

Options Available!

The weathering of this DL-44 have some changes during the movie and BTS and promo pictures.

The configuration as pictured is inspired by these promo pictures:

Then I have another flash hider available that is weathered to match the state where the base was mostly silver and the cone mostly black:

And finally, to match how it actually looked on Bespin
There's a mostly black flash hider and less weathered scope mount:

Note that only one flash hider and scope mount combination of your choice is included in the price. If you want additional - you can get any and all of them - I'm just asking for whatever their price is currently at Blaster Factory.

Additional vintage V8 Greebiles

It is known that originally there was another small V8 greeblie just like it is on the "Dagobah"/stunt castings DL-44s

It is unclear if there was ever a motor/coil greeblie like on the Han's Hoth MGC or on the stunt castings, but it is possible there was, and for a more "idealized" build it should be there.

I had all of the 3 greeblies installed, but for the sale I left just the one that is seen in the move and I'm offering the other two as options.

Another option is to replace the vintage Scope with a replica.

This is a blaster factory replica scope weathered and modified by me. I've added real weathered brass on the port and on the rear mount point and I have replaced the inaccurate blaster factory screws on the front with accurate ones taken from a real Sherman scope.

ESB "Full Port" DL-44 - Han Bespin

Blaster Factory steel kit. Weathered and stamped with the standard Mauser marks. I didn't stamp a serial as it is not know and I didn't want to stamp something random in case better pictures surface one day to show the real serial.

Vintage original M19 scope

There are additional flash hiders and other options available - check below.

Price in the configuration as pictured: $1500. Please contact me if you are interested in some of the other options and for shipping

Options:

Flash Hiders:
I have a couple of weathered flash hiders available - you can pick any of them if you like them more than the one currently installed.
You can get all of them if you like - contact me for total

Real Vintage Rear Sight
I have found a really nice vintage Mauser C96 rear sight with blueing that is quite similar to the real prop:

Offering it as an upgrade option (you will receive still the blaster factory rear sight)

V8 Greeblies

It's hard to say what greeblies were installed on the other side of the blaster. But looks like there was at least the small V8 greeblies like on the cut port blaster (Luke's):

It is unclear if there was ever a second small greeblie or the motor/coil greeblie like on the Han's Hoth MGC or on the stunt castings, but it is possible there was, and for a more "idealized" build it should be there.

I'm offering a complete set of vintage greeblies as an upgrade option. You can get all of them or just one/two you need.

ESB DL-44 - Luke Dagobah
With this one I wanted to do a somewhat idealized version of the DL-44 as seen here:

It's a Blaster Factory Aluminum Kit but with vintage greeblies:

- vintage square bumper
- vintage V8 piston halves motor/coli and small greeblies
- vintage scope mount thumbwheels

The replica scope is modified with lenses made from vintage flash diffuser, real brass on the port and rear mount point. Additionally the front side was modified to look like the front side of the ESB stunt castings scopes. I've added a removable rubber cap for the scope port to match that on the castings the porst are actually filled with material.

Upgrade to a real vintage M19 scope is available as an option.

Asking $1000 (with the replica scope)

Options:
I only have one upgrade option available for this blaster and it is a real vintage M19 scope with uncut port. Vintage flash diffuser pieces are installed on top of the scope lenses to match the prop, but they can be easily removed if you prefer to have the scope unmodified.

Here are some shots with the Vintage M19 Scope installed:

I'll keep the options for one more week if anyone is interested in getting a complete blaster.
After that all parts will be offered for sale separately - vintage scopes, greeblies, flashiders, etc.
