My Han Solo DL-44 Blaster is the result of years of fanatical research. I've procured all of the original elements possible including Veron model kit cylinders and pushrods, Hensoldt-Wetzlar scopes, and MG-81 flash suppressor and adapter. I've spec'd them all in minute detail. I've personally examined the re-assembled original blaster (sold at auction the summer of 2022 for $1,200,000) and measured it every conceivable way including weight. I've searched out the best manufacturers for each of the parts required to duplicate this prop, down to the screws. What I'm offering here is incredibly close to the real prop.
How fanatical? Well, I've reproduced every detail that can be reproduced, even details you will never see. Such as a COMPLETE replica Hensold-Wetzlar scope with ALL INTERNAL PARTS, identical to the original scopes (that means STEEL! Not aluminum.) Such as using 3 Veron model engine cylinders to construct the "grille". Such as a replica gas restrictor in the barrel. Such as scope mounting lugs attached to the side of the gun. Such as a barrel threaded to accept a silencer or extended barrel, as the original customized C-96 Mausers were. Such as German proof marks on internal parts. Such as steel adapters and collars to mount the MG-81 flash hider to the barrel.
The "battle worn" finish features hand applied wear, scratches, chips, rust, and scuffs to make it as close as possible in appearance to the actual prop as it was used on screen. It's painstaking work, but the end result is a feast for the eyes, I assure you.
Yes, you can grab DL-44 blasters made of plastic or airsoft guns for a lot less money. But if you want a truly museum quality replica, this one's for you. Grab one while I can still make them! (I'm not getting any younger!)
Please note that this replica does not hold or fire real ammunition.
Disclaimer: Despite copying the lenses from real original Hensoldt-Wetzlar scopes, they unfortunately do not focus for distance.
UPDATE 8/1/24: SADLY, I AM NO LONGER TAKING ORDERS FOR BLASTERS. However, if there is enough interest, I may consider doing another run. Please call me at 661-242-2089 to inquire.
QUESTIONS ABOUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do. But we do not know if these are legal in your country. That is for you to find out.
What about customs?
Paying the import duty your government imposes is your responsibility. Import duty is determined by your government after the shipment arrives in your country. We have no idea what your government will charge you to import anything we sell. We will not refund you the shipping charges if the parcel is returned because you refuse to pay import duty.
How much is shipping to the UK? Finland? Botswana?
Add the item to your shopping cart, go to your cart, then enter your shipping address. You will see real time quotes from USPS and UPS with the available service options and prices. These are the ACTUAL charges with nothing added. We make no money on shipping.
Do you ever have trouble shipping these to another country?
Occasionally, yes. We do sometimes experience delays with blasters going through customs, since they are difficult to classify. It is not unusual to experience delays up to two months in customs. USPS shipments are delayed more often than UPS shipments. About 80% of our shipments get through as expected. Although these are illegal in MANY countries, some customs agencies let them through anyway.
Do you offer tracking?
Yes, both USPS and UPS offer tracking. USPS tracking is quite limited. After the parcel arrives at your country, your government's customs department takes possession of it. USPS can't track it beyond this point. After customs has inspected, classified, and taxed it, it is handed over to a local delivery service. This agency will collect the import duty and arrange delivery. You may be required to pick it up. UPS offers better tracking because they handle the package from door to door, including collecting the import duty.

HAN SOLO DL-44 COMPLETE BLASTER, BATTLE WORN FINISH
I'm ready for Imperial scum! This replica is amazing. Heavy-duty and detailed, this is much superior to my ESB Master Replicas model. And is much, much better than my vintage Kenner Star Wars 1978 Laser Pistol, that lost it's barrel in an unfortunate rope-swing incident. This is a blaster that Han Solo would be proud of.

Gorgeously perfect!
I just received my weathered & battle worn DL-44 today, & I could not be any happier than I am now. This thing is a beast! I've built a few DL-44's over the last few years (Greedo Killer, Luke's, etc) & the level of detail that is in this work of art is astonishing. The scope is blowing me away! The fit & finish on this piece is outstanding. No jiggle, or "clinking" sounds. I'm thrilled & honored to have this piece in my collection.

Han Solo DL-44 Complete Blaster, Battle worn finish
After a tantalising wait while the package sat in customs awaiting review, I received this superb prop today and was really impressed with the quality and attention to detail. I've owned pretty much all versions of this prop over the last 20 years (fan made and licensed) and this is BY FAR, the best one. It is just superb. No other words to describe it. Very happy with the service. Packing could have been slightly better as some small parts of the grill were chipped off on the reverse side as the Blaster was moving around a little loose inside the inner box, but even that couldn't take away the smile on my face when I held this iconic prop in my hand. Thanks to all at Todds!

HAN SOLO DL-44 COMPLETE BLASTER, BATTLE WORN FINISH
This is undoubtedly the coolest Han Solo blaster ever. The quality of materials and attention to detail are phenomenal. I don't usually leave reviews but just had to for this very impressive piece. Certainly a highlight of my collection.

Yes, I'll bet you have!
Beautiful replica! Highly recommend for any Han Solo aficionado!

This is so damn cool
This thing rules- it feels so extremely solid. The only concern I had was that the grip didn't feel 100% solid, but I tightened it with a screw driver and now it's perfect. The weight substantial and the detail work is phenomenal. Very pleased to finally own my own DL-44.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for...
Holding this blaster feels like holding a piece of Star Wars. It's hard to describe. Honestly, it was pretty overwhelming. It really looks and feels like the prop from the movie. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding. I don't think Star Wars collectibles get any better than this!
