\/>\nHarrison Ford &#8220;Rick Deckard&#8221; hero blaster from Blade Runner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(Warner Bros., 1982) Arguably one of the single most important weapons in Science Fiction history is the hero firing blaster used by Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) to &#8220;retire&#8221; replicants in Ridley Scott&#8217;s timeless Sci-Fi classic Blade Runner. While few rubber stunt guns have surfaced in the collector&#8217;s market over the years, this particular Hero-blaster has been thought to have been lost for decades. Purchased by Hollywood Marketing specialist Jeff Walker, in a sale by the film&#8217;s production company after filming had wrapped, this iconic piece has been in Walker&#8217;s private collection for over 25 years. It was briefly displayed at a convention around the time of Blade Runner&#8217;s 25th Anniversary and immediately caused a frenzy among Sci Fi fans, who had never thought to ever see the &#8220;holy grail&#8221; of Sci-Fi weapons in person.<\/p>\n<p>Only one hero firing weapon was made for the production which was created by mating a Steyr-Mannlicher Model .222 SL receiver on to a Charter Arms .44 police bulldog double-action revolver. It features custom amber grips, dual triggers, and futuristic illuminating LEDs (four red and two green) that can be activated by a small switch mounted beneath the barrel.<\/p>\n<p>Besides its cult-classic status and tremendous re-release success on its 25th Anniversary, Blade Runner is a leading example of the neo-noir genre and is regarded by its director as one of his most complete and personal films. It has been selected by the Library of Congress as being &#8220;culturally, historically or aesthetically significant&#8221;. It is also ranked by the American Film Institute and Time Magazine as one of the &#8220;100 All-TIME best movies&#8221; and the popular British movie magazine Empire voted it the &#8220;Best Science Fiction Film Ever&#8221; in 2007. This blaster is most likely the most representative artifact for this important contribution to cinematic history.<\/p>\n<p>$100000 &#8211; $150000<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A few related publicity
