Princess Leia Blaster

As seen in "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi"

I purchased this online.
This is a rough casting of the screen used blaster from Jedi. I cannot vouch for the authenticity of this piece beyond the reputation of the seller, which is pretty solid.

This was actually one of the first props I purchased online when I first discovered theforce.net online discussion forums. I purchased this along with an ILM Trooper blaster from the special editions.

Though not particulary wowed by the quality of the casting or the master, this piece does hold interest for me due to it's lineage.

The original gun was built off a Russion Margolin target pistol. It looks like they added a few rubber bumpons to the side, and used some model kit pieces for the nozzle. Not a particularly original design, but it looked great on screen.
