Something that has always irritated me is the fact that the Worldcon blaster is often delivered in a cheap-ass box (...the delightful cardboard packing and cellophane the Tomenosuke gun is delivered in). Personally, I like the idea that the BR PKD is actually the very best (albeit unauthorised) firearm a rogue Bladerunner is likely to carry. Think of Dirty Harry's S&W .44 Model 29....
Since Bladerunner is actually a 'retro-modern' styled work of film fantasy, why can't Deckard's blaster have been issued in a traditional wooden box - surely the mark of a top-quality sidearm?
With my Worldcon blaster finished as the old rusted, neglected version, I worked on the fact that the gun box, money, ID tags and all the other accoutrements Deckard might have stored with his firearm should all be well used and forgotten - after all, Deckard also got old, retired and forget where he put his dentures..
