Han Solo's blaster prop gun has made history.
During an auction held by the Rock Island Auction Company (RIAC) in 2022, the blaster Harrison Ford used when portraying Han Solo in the first "Star Wars" movie, "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope," sold for $1,057,500, breaking a world record. The sale will be featured in the "Guinness Book of World Records 2024," under the "Most Expensive Prop Gun Sold at Auction" category.
The BlasTech DL-44 Heavy Blaster used by Ford in the film had been missing since filming of the 1976 movie was completed, and new blasters were built for the next two films, "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi," according to the auction house. According to RIAC, the new owner of London-based prop house Bapty & Co., Terry Watts, found the prop in the company's inventory.
Rock Island Auction Company claimed that it is the only one of the original three blasters made for the 1976 film to exist today. Although it sold for over $1 million, its estimated worth prior to the auction was between $300,000 and $500,000.

Since we already have 2 "Han shot first"'s in this thread, I'm gonna tell you it's not stupid. If anything, this was still a cheap price tag.
