These fabulous 007 toys, part of the spy craze that ran in tandem with the space craze in the 60's, belong to supercollector Ferryman. He explains that both toys were based on existing ray gun tooling with barrel and butt attachments. The Lone Star one (top 3 pics) is well known for having made various appearances as Dalek and Star Trek guns over the years. The smaller gun (with black body) is less frequently seen but its original form appears to be heavily by the Lone Star Dan Dare gun. The smaller gun has no makers name on it and simply says made in Hong Kong. The bottom picture is a comparison of both. Awesome! Thanks for sharing Ferryman.

THE LONE STAR ONE GOT PRODUCED AS A STINGRAY AND I THINK A DALEK VERSION TOO!
Wow. That is cool looking toy. I would love to have the Dalek version.
Now this brings back warm and happy memories to say the least.....It just takes me straight back to the sixties (as often happens around here!)
