Rare Han Solo Pic from Empire - Blaster Profile Shot

[AT-AT Luvah]

Thought I'd share this picture I ran across in my travels. I cleaned it up for display here.

I know there's been conversations about the other side of this blaster - hoping this helps add to the discussion.

Thanks so much. Awesome pic. It apears that this is the blaster that is generally refered to as the Luke ESB blaster in that it is the one made from a real Mauser, not the MGC.

It's always amazing that 30 years later we are still seeing new photos.

Much apreciated.

That's the shot I used to blueprint the most recent run of accurate scope bracket knobs for CorellianExports. Vince did a great job recreating them.

Where did you get the pic?

 

[Ham Solo]

Great pic! I've never seen that one before.

Most excellent! Thanks for sharing!

the weathering is great . I hate to see perfectly painted replica props...as if it was never used.

 

[Corellianexports]

Thanks Chris.

...and as I recall, Chris really had to convince me that it was an "angled" or "radio style" knob. Looking at this photo, I can see that it definitely was! Thanks for post this!

Sweeet!

Yep, totally awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like there are a few threads protruding from the knob even, like they didn't bother grinding it down flush.

What a great find! I agree...love the weathering:thumbsup

Just came across this odd looking Han Solo photo that I'd never seen before, and I thought of this thread. (Sorry if it's already been posted somewhere else.) Not a bad view of the blaster.
