Description

Go Hero Daisy "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Disintegrator Pistol" Pop Ray Gun No. 881 in Limited Edition of 1000
Go Hero/Daisy® Outdoor Products ©2008/®Dille Family Trust. Made in China. Stamped steel. Approx. 10 inches log.
This is one of the limited edition Disintegrator Pistols produced by Go Hero in 2008 licensed by Daisy and the John Dille family. The Limited Edition number is stamped on the gun and the medallion in the wooden box cover. It is number 881 of 1000 made. This gun has never been played with and the gold finish has no wear or loss. It works perfectly and uses a common cigarette lighter flint (available at most drugstores) to produce a spark in the “Electronic Compression Viewplate” (window). As the flint wears down you will have to tighten the thumbscrew aka “Beam Intensity Selector” at the top of the gun to keep sparking. When fired it also produces a “pop” noise. The muzzle or “Tri-Thermal Convergence Unit” has an eBay friendly orange plug cap (to keep us all safe). This gun is packaged in a wooden lift-top box with magnets and a plastic insert that holds the gun along with an all-metal 2-1/2” Buck Rogers figure similar to those found in the Buck Rogers casting set of the 1930s. A piece of foam protects the gun from the box cover. The box fits in a cardboard slipcover that has reproductions of artwork from the original box complete with Dr. Huer’s explanation of the parts and how they work.
This set is missing the paperwork which included the Certificate of Authenticity (with the same serial number as on the gun and medallion), the small packet of replacement flints (available anywhere and online) and the 1937 patent. The cover of the wooden box has a horizontal crack (along the grain-see photos) and a few small scuffs/dents but is otherwise very clean. The slipcover is also very clean. The metal Buck figure has a slight bend on his ray gun barrel which can be straightened (this figure is not lead, as the casting set produced, but a safer modern alloy).
A great addition to any collection
Near Mint condition
Sellers Note: The original Buck Rogers Atomic Disintegrator ray gun was one of the first Daisy Buck Rogers pistols based on the popular Philip Nowlan comic strip of the time illustrated by Dick Calkins and edited by John F. Dille.  Buck Rogers toys flew off the shelves in the 1930s and this gun, along with a few others helped Daisy survive the lean years of the Great Depression. Unfortunately, many Buck Rogers toys were lost to the great Homefront metal scrap drives of the war years. All of the Daisy Buck Rogers guns were forgotten until the rise of toy collecting in the 1970s and 80s and by then many had been buried in the back yard, lost in attics and cellars and were generally in poor condition. To this day, mint condition guns with their original boxes command high prices. Of course one appearing on a Foo Fighters album cover a few years ago helped create a fascination with this style of ray gun. Daisy actually made two different versions of this gun from the same stamping, the 1930s Atomic Disintegrator and the post World War II (late 1940s) Atomic Pistol. People always ask “How do I tell the difference?"  Well, the name is printed on the side of the gun (duh!). The designer of this gun borrowed features from both guns. For example, the Atomic Pistol (postwar) has red windows (like this gun) but all Disintegrators (1930s) have white Isenglass windows.
