The info in the auction site says after the Stars Wars movies the three props were returned to semi original condition for use in other movies. The scope has been used before in a Frank Sinatra movie!

"Due to restrictive firearms laws in the UK, the guns were stripped back to their original condition with added lugs cut off, barrel extensions (blank firing only) or moderators added and refinished for use in future films."

Also includes a BATFE letter stating, "Based on the provided information, it appears the submitted pistol was modified for use as a prop in the 1977 film 'Star Wars' by Harrison Ford's character Han Solo. The submitted Mauser C96 pistol derives a substantial part of its monetary value from its connection to the 'Star Wars' film" and approved it for importation by a licensed importer."
