The listing for the item read:

960. Harrison Ford "Rick Deckard" prop blaster from Blade Runner. (Warner Bros., 1982) Vintage original futuristic LAPD blaster handgun constructed of cast, skinned polyfoam over internal metal reinforcing armature. With transparent amber cast resin grips affixed to each side of the handle. This soft stunt prop gun was expertly assembled and finished to appear as identical to the hero prop as possible. Uniquely designed for production, this iconic handgun has been referred to as "The PKD" for Pflager Katsumata Series-D, to mirror the initials of writer Philip K. Dick, "2019 Detective Special", "M2019 Blaster", or "LAPD 2019 Blaster". The hero prop was assembled from a conglomeration of parts of a Steyr Mannlicher .222 Model SL and a Charter Arms Bulldog revolver. Side covers were added to mask the Bulldog's cylinder and bolt and screw heads were used to represent knobs and controls. This prop gun exhibits minor age and wear with a small chip to the upper left of the resin grip. The gun remains in vintage very good condition. $15,000 – $20,000

Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken MAC-10 is another one of those iconic weapons from classic '80s sci-fi films, albeit with a decidedly more realistic grounding. It sold for $20,480 (USD).
