Well, it says it's a Bapty, but, it does not look like one. I might be wrong.

Vern, we need you to chime in lol

Hehe my thought exactly

It looks like it could be a Bapty style blaster but... Bapty blasters had a block of wood shoved in the magazine. This one had just a regular cut magazine.

I'm going to stick my neck out & suggest that someone's trying to make a LOT of money with a replica. 

 

It's a good effort but there's something about it that doesn't feel right to me.

 

However, I haven't seen every Tunisian/Bapty ever made so I'm happy to change my mind if the the owner is genuine & would like to come on FISD to tell us the history & provenance of the blaster

I call foul. It doesn't feel like a real bapty to me.

 

Bad photos, no detailed closeups and the details in the description is a bit off.

No close up pictures from the power cylinders and the Hengstler counter - everybody who is familiar with E-11 knows these details are important.

 

But they are missing. Must be a reason for it...

I think that's lee malone's old blaster. If so, it's legit.

 

The scope, cylinders and hengstler are added in modern times, because there are no surviving blasters that still have them. They all were removed either during or after filming finished. So it's not important for this blaster to have closeup pictures of them.

LOL

These are photos of Lee's blaster.  It's not the same one.  The listing has ended now as "unavailable"
