| This blaster is one of several that was found a few years ago at Bapty & Co – the motion picture armorer who provided the majority of the weapons for Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. |
Their use in the production of ANH was initially established through conversations with staff who were present and involved with the fabrication of these and other weapons during production. It quickly became clear that these Blasters were custom made specifically for Star Wars. |
As Lucasfilm had a very small budget for the first film most of the prop weapons (including these) were rented and therefore returned to the armourers once filming was completed. Ownership of the blasters was never transferred to Lucasfilm.

These features are highlighted on two of the photos below. The front section of the blaster is an actual Sterling body tube. The barrel in the centre was replaced with a simple wooden dowel painted black. The rear section of the Sterling was cut away and a solid aluminium cast billet was slotted into the rear of the gun. The billet extends from the rear of the Sterling tube past the ejector port and receiver, rendering the piece a non-gun. The original maker had these billets made specifically for these props. The grip and trigger guard are not standard and were custom made from aluminium. Each of these features can be seen in the clear reference photos that are in the Star Wars Chronicles book on pages 89 and 91 (scans of those images are below, along with a number of reference stills from the film showing these style blasters in action). The blasters can be clearly seen in the Death Star sequences, trash compactor scene, the Spaceport scene and all of the desert scenes filmed in Tunisia. |

When we discovered the weapons sadly all of the original components from each of the blasters had been long since stripped and removed. What was great to see was that markings from the original rivet that held the top rail in place just in front of the rear site were still visible. This blaster has been faithfully restored with replica dressing parts to complete the look of the Stormtrooper blaster. The parts are extremely accurate to the originals. |
The restoration parts comprise: The M38 scope, the scope rail, the barrel ribs, the cylinders and the Hengstler counter box. A key aim of the restoration is to bring the Blaster back to screen used look, whilst ensuring that the process is as non-intrusive to the original piece as possible. |
The M38 scope replica is a real functional azimuth tank scope that obtained from Karl Schmidt, the Bapty armorer who built the guns for the film, and could have possibly been one of the originals used in Star Wars. |

The barrel ribs are completely accurate to those used on the blaster in ANH. They are made from plastic as were the originals. They are secured by double-sided tape so as not to damage the original nature of the piece. The cylinders positioned on the top of the magazine slot have been constructed using a number of excellent reference photos and match perfectly. The cylinders are secured using double-sided tape. |
The Hengstler box is a vintage Hengstler counter of the same type seen in the film. The original Hengstler boxes were glued onto the side of the body of the blaster (and fell off during the course of production). To ensure that the restoration process is non-intrusive and minimises wear on the screen used piece, the replica Hengstler will be attached via a discreet bracket that is screwed onto the scope rail. |
