Link here if anyone is interested.
Awesome prop! Made all the more rare by the fact that few things were archived back in the day, added to which Lucasfilm never owned the pieces, many of which disappeared over time.

As as investments go, the prop collecting community is still very small but growing rapidly - this should appreciate in years to come.

I would love to own that!

I wouldn't pay 12 grand for it though.

[hornetrider]

12k???? I take it this one is fully functioning?

[hugoagogo]

just a slightly modified sterling sub-machine gun, isn't it

Yup. Tank scope on top, cut down magazine and a few other bits and bobs.

I've got a Master Replicas one in a box somewhere.

wow!

[captainzep]

Cool.

Then all you'd need would be a decent storm trooper outfit and you could rob the post office safe in the knowledge that the police would be conducting their enquiries on Endor or Tantooine or similar.

At least it's from one of the proper Star Wars films, not the three 'Disney Wars:The Furry Toy Menace' ones.
