Century Disintegrator Toy Gun manufactured by the Daisy Manufacturing Company of Plymouth, Michigan in 1935.
I am revising this listing based on a message I received this afternoon from a Collector: "
Howdy,
Just a heads up, This Buck Rogers XZ-38 Disintegrator Pistol was produced in 1935. The ones from 1945 Had Atomic Pistol On the Side. You have quite a gem for sale. I hope you don't mind me sending you this information. If you do I apologize, I'm a collector and I am just trying to help."
This Buck Rogers 25
th
CenturyDisintegrator Toy Gun is operated by pulling on the trigger and that generates a clicking sound and a spark that is supposed to simulate a flame. The clicking sound and the flame both work except that the windows have darkened so much with age that you barely see the spark. The spark is generated by a flint that is inserted in a hole located in the top of the gun and held in place by a screw pressing tightly against a spring.

th
Century Disintegrator Toy Gun has these characteristics.

Materials of Construction:
This Buck Rogers 25
th
CenturyDisintegrator Toy Gun is constructed of pressed metal with a copper finish on the body of the gun. The fins on the barrel of the gun appear to be un-plated metal. The windows at the top of the gun have panel inserts that I believe area hard plastic as they have darkened with age and are almost opaque so you can barely see the spark.
·
Condition:
This Buck Rogers 25
th
Century Disintegrator Toy Gun is in good vintage condition, but the copper has tarnished or worn off and there are a few scratch marks and discoloration consistent with a toy that is about 70 years old that has been well kept. I have polished this Toy Gun, but it could be further polished to provide this Gun a more highly polished shine.
