Blade Runner early production stunt "Deckard" blaster....

Description

Blade Runner early production stunt "Deckard" blaster. (Warner Bros., 1982) Vintage original futuristic LAPD blaster handgun constructed of cast, skinned polyfoam. Measuring 8 x 6.5 x 2 in., this soft black stunt prop gun was expertly made to appear as identical to the hero prop as possible while being safe for actors during stunt sequences. This early version gun is absent of the familiar amber resin grips, as is stated in the accompanying COA. Several other characters are seen handling Deckard's gun at times, notably "Rachael" (Sean Young). "Blade Runner Holden" (Morgan Paul) is seen very briefly drawing a similar blaster at the beginning of the film. LAPD officers have black resin casts of the hero prop in their holsters, but they are just barely seen. Exhibiting production wear and moderate warping along barrel. Provenance: Comes with a letter of provenance from a former employee of Knott Limited Special Effects that created the Deckard gun for the film.
