ThereвЂ™s an archive of my photos of this prop here The вЂњON/OFFвЂќ switch can be seen however.Д¬omparison shots of the buttplate reveal that every scratch from 1982 is still thereвЂ¦ and that this is indeed the original hero prop. Note also the prominent вЂњOFF/ONвЂќ switch, thought to activate the LEDs visible on the sides of the вЂњclipвЂќ.Д¬omparison with the scene ar the end of the film in DeckardвЂ™s apartment, shows that the Weaver scope knob was not present in at least some scenes. In fact, it is a large knurled knob with radial engraved marks on it (a вЂњwindage knobвЂќ from a scope sight apparently). On the right side of the gun, the large knob in the middle has usually been rendered in replicas as a flathead screw. The lighter parts of the gun have been rendered in chrome or bright silver in most replicas as it turns out these areas are bare steel (and pitted with rust). The straps on the front and back of the grip, thought to have been silver or black, turn out to be bare metal partially painted black. The wires are visible in some scenes in the film, but missing in others, implying the prop was modified during production (or else there were more than one). As it turns out, there are TWO LEDs, one in either end.Д¬oming down from the sight is a bundle of four white wires, which are abruptly chopped off (these probably provided power for the LEDs): This was long thought to have some sort of green LED in it. All replicas which have been made up to now are based on blurry frames from the film and on castings of screenused rubber вЂњstuntвЂќ props which lack several key details.ДЇor instance, on the left side of the gun is a вЂњlaser sightвЂќ, which appears to be some sort of jewelerвЂ™s screwdriver.

To my knowledge this prop has never been seen by the public since the movie was filmed in 1982. Here is the prop compared with one of the clearer frames from the film, from a scene near the end where Deckard (Harrison Ford) drops the weapon while climbing a wall to flee from the replicant Batty (Rutger Hauer): Photos are В©2006 Karl Tate, please do not reproduce them without my permission. One of the most surprising was the original HERO blaster prop used in Blade Runner! The display area had some really remarkable items on view. Just back from Worldcon 2006, what a blast.
