Harrison Ford's Blade Runner Gun on Auction

In 1982, you ran around your living room with a makeshift blaster, aping the mannerisms of Harrison Ford. The film Blade Runner grabbed hold of your imagination, and your life was changed forever.

Now, you can take your childhood dream of humanoid hunting to the next level. The very gun that you imitated with what seemed like a large stick is going to be auctioned by Profiles in History on April 30 and May 1, 2009.



The humanoid replica killer Blade Runner gun is expected to gather somewhere between $100K and $150K in this auction, especially as we're talking about a unique piece. Only one of its kind was made for Harrison Ford a.k.a Rick Deckard, and the gun is even more special as it is, indeed, a truly interesting blend between a Steyr-Mannlicher Model .222 SL receiver with custom-made amber grips that has been attached to a dual-trigger Charter Arms .44 police bulldog double-action revolver and sports 6 “futuristic” LED lights (2 green and 4 red), controlled by a switch on the lower side of the blaster.

Update: Ford's Rick Deckard sci-fi weapon, the only firing gun used in the cult film, went under the hammer for a whopping $270,000. Other highlights of the spring memorabilia sale, which brought in over $4 million were the Creature From The Black Lagoon's mask, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze costume from Batman & Robin and Derek Meers' and Jason Voorhees costume from Friday the 13th.
