Chewbacca's original bowcaster found and restored

[Halliwax]

Absentee bids have already started and are ongoing I'm assuming until the auction ends. It looks like from the info on the website, the auction will begin at 10:30AM PDT and lots are sold sequentially via the live auctioneer. It looks like the lot number for this one is 358, of 452, so probably the live portion of for this item, and the ending, will be closer to the end of the day today, March 26th.

Bless you

The seems on the spheres are vertical on the Rotj version instead of horizontal like they are in ANH and ESB.

So who is the new lucky owner of the bowcaster?

 

[Halliwax]

Still no word on the new bowcaster owner?

Crazy money. I can't criticize.

If I had the money the Christie's Star Trek Auction would have been a big day for me.

Enterprise A (1-6 Filming Model)

Excelsior (Lakota I believe when sold. Put back to Excelsior if possible, or Ent B if not)

Enterprise E

Kirk VI chair

Blowing Up Enterprise from ST3

Reliant (Put back to reliant)

Kirk movie Uniform

Probably a few other things.

Does anyone know what was used on the side plates, guessing a couple of Michel sweep arm bases.

Can you highlight in a photo?

I’m still curious if anyone knows who the new owner is?

Likely Kivas Fajo:

On this side it looks like a Michel gear and what looks like a simple bit of cut pipe.

This side has four items.
Guessing the same dial as on the bunker bomb, a second dial, then higher a Michel disc, and maybe a second but from the stylus cleaner?

The barrel honestly looks like a found item like a piece of scavenged playground equipment.

The new owner is Dave Mandel of "The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of" podcast (he also bought the Yavin Medal)

Did he mention it on his podcast or something? I've also been curious as to who it ended up.

Yes, they just wrapped up the most recent season and he spoke about it for a few minutes (as well as how bidding on different items went). The conversation specific to the Bowcaster starts at around the 37:30 mark:
