The original blaster used in the first Star Wars film could break memorabilia auction records when it goes under the hammer later this year.

The futuristic weapon, wielded by Harrison Ford in the 1977 sci-fi classic A New Hope, carries a pre-auction estimate of $300,000 – $500,000 – but is expected to make much more.
