Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. RoboCop's (Peter Weller) Auto 9 pistol from Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi action film RoboCop. The Auto 9, a Beretta 93R modified to match the film's dystopian technological aesthetic, was RoboCop's signature firearm. This hand-painted silver, epoxy resin machine pistol comes from firearms expert and the designer of the Desert Eagle handgun, Bernard C. White. White's Desert Eagle was originally intended to be RoboCop's sidearm, but the weapon looked too small in his armored hand. A modified Beretta 93R was ultimately created instead. White received this casting as a gift from production for his role in advising the armory department on its development. The pistol features a winged rear sight and a slatted, extended barrel engraved "Mod. 93R Made in Italy" with the Beretta trademark. Also included is a Letter of Authenticity from White. The lot exhibits visible paint scuffing and chips to the barrel and front sight from production, but remains in good overall condition. Dimensions: 13" x 7" x 3" (33.25 cm x 18 cm x 7.75 cm) Ownership may be restricted in some countries; see replica firearm notice in Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000
