DL-44 - Luke Skywalkers prop pistol
... at auction, for a starting price of a cool $200,000USD!
Yep, Luke Skywalkers prop pistol is up for auction. Now I've never had a close look at the said weapon, although I thought I knew of it's 'inspiration', but the ABC has published a close up at: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-2...-strik/7109220 Which shows it is not only a slightly stylised Mauser C96 pistol of pre-WW1 vintage with a 'thingy' stuck on the end of the barrel, but the 'scope' appears to be a US WW2-era sight as used on gun mounts in AFVs, reversed and stuck on the top (no doubt someone can identify the 'M' number for us). How 'futuristic' is that?? Mike
