Captain Kirk’s Star Trek phaser gun from the second pilot of the wildly popular 1960s television series sold for a hefty $231,000 (€177,526) in Los Angeles, Julien’s Auctions said.

The phaser, created at the request of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry for use by William Shatner, who played Kirk in the beloved sci-fi show, had been estimated to sell for about $50,000 (€38,425), but achieved more than four times that including commission.

Other extraterrestrial highlights at the two-day Hollywood Legends sale of hundreds of costumes, memorabilia, props and other items included the “alien survey buggy” seen aboard the Nostromo in the 1979 movie Alien, which sold for $10,625 (€8,167), and a complete costume worn by Anubis, played by Carlos Lauchu, in the 1994 movie Stargate, which sold for $16,250 (€12,490), more than three times the estimate.
