  • Condition: The Buck Rogers Atomic blaster ray gun in this auction, is not mint, but in well-cared for, "played-with" condition. When the trigger is pulled, the U235 Atomic toy pistol makes a loud popping noise, it does not spark. Released by Daisy in 3 colors, the one in our auction appears to be in the "gunmetal" color. I'm not sure the screw on the top is original (see photo 8). Several of the vent ribs are slightly bent, and there is some light surface rust on one side of the barrel (see my last photo). I've never taken the toy apart. My hopes are that someone has the knowledge and the parts needed to get this antique space toy back to it’s glory days. Please enlarge and closely review each of the photos I’ve included with this auction and consider them an important part of the description.…..jeff

    History - Prior to this toy’s release, the Daisy Company worked with Philip Francis Nowlan the author of Buck Rogers, and cartoonist Richard Calkins, to redesign the guns, helmets, and holsters, used in the original 1930’s comic strips. Since the comics and the radio show had developed a significant following during and right after World War II, Daisy used the existing tools and dies from the 1930’s to create the U-235 Atomic Pistol.
    This toy promoted the fascination with atomic energy and was available in a gunmetal color, unfinished steel, and gold. The Atomic Pistol was a 1946 Christmas mail-order item and the last Buck Rogers gun ever produced
    by Daisy.
