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.

My Han sold Battle worn blaster
The communication could not have been better. Todd gave updates as the build progressed. I have seen many others replica Han Blasters.. All others fall short in comparison. This is a true work of art. I am very happy with my blaster. This blaster feels as it is the real thing. The weight, weathering it is so close to the actual prop. I plan on purchasing other items from Todd. I truly can not give any grievance to this build.

Worth the Wait
I waited a year for this blaster, but it was worth every minute. The detail is amazing! It is a very heavy and authentic piece of art. The parts are all robust and solid, the action is true to the broom handle Mauser on which it is built, the scope is solid and functioning. Just an amazing item that is the jewel of my collection!

So nice I bought it twice!!!
I ordered the regular DL-44 and my wife and I were soo impressed with the level of detail that she actually told me to buy the battle worn version as well. Todd was having supply chain issues and dealing with the fires in CA at the time but he provided constant updates and it was completely worth the wait! There is NOTHING out there that even comes close to these blasters. I cannot recommend this item enough. I am getting the display stands as well. If you were ever into Star Wars as a kid it’s like holding a piece of history. And…JFTR.. Han shot first. ;-)

Absolutely Stunning
Without a doubt, this is THE premier replica for this blaster. As a devout Star Wars fan and collector of WWI/WWII memorabilia, I can absolutely attest to Todd’s attention to detail on all fronts. His commitment to excellence is matched only by his communication throughout the process. If you are looking to have a quality blaster at your side, look no further.

Solo DL-44 blaster, battle worn finish
Beautifully done replica. All parts look like they're accurately sourced with original manufacturer names and serial numbers, the finish is spot on, as is the weathering. Excellent display piece. If you're lucky enough to obtain one, you definitely will not be disappointed.

HAN SOLO DL-44 BLASTER, BATTLE WORN FINISH

DL 44 battle worn blaster
Simply could not be happier! Worth the money and the wait. With the way it looks, feels, and the weight, it seems like it could have come from the movie set. Also Todd was great with communication which was appreciated.

Closest you'll ever get to the real thing!
Well worth the wait! I have bought several of Todd's products in the past, but nothing prepared me for this blaster. Todd's attention to detail, craftsmanship, and overall professionalism is unparalleled. This blaster feels like it came right off the set in 1977. I am thrilled to finally have my very own smugglers sidearm!
