Han Solo's original blaster from Star Wars just sold, for a mere $200,000. The winning bid took the blaster, where it took place over the weekend according to Profiles in History. The buyer is anonymous by default.

This prop is the version that replaced it, from Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
The auction house notes that this may also have been the prop blaster used briefly by Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker when he enters Cloud City.
