A hero biker scout blaster from Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Biker scouts, known as scout troopers during production, used their unique hold-out blasters throughout the ground battle on Endor. The small blasters were carried in an ankle holster and played in several memorable scenes involving Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill.)

The small blaster is a rare hero version, finished to a higher standard than the majority of the blasters made for the film and intended specifically for close-up work. It is believed that only 3-4 hero blasters were made for production and this is the only one in private hands today. The blaster is made primarily from cast resin with a bent metal trigger guard. The scope is cast separately and attached with screws; one screw cover has gone missing since production. Several specific features identify the blaster as a hero version: the intricate step-down barrel assembly, the reflector lens in the back of the scope, and the round tube-like detail at the back of the main body. The blaster is in good overall condition with some deliberate distressing for production as well as additional wear and age, including scuffing and paint chipping throughout. Dimensions: 9" x 5" x 3" (23 cm x 12.75 cm x 7.75 cm)
