You remember the Lone Star die-cast Captain Scarlet pistol.
Some of you may have had one in the Sixties maybe?
As I've blogged before it was also the basis of the uber-collectable Captain Scarlet rifle, which I assume was also made by Lone Star.
But the life the pistol didn't stop there!
It went on to live again in the form of the Flash Gordon space gun!
I can't find a picture of a loose one but I can see its the same toy gun. Do you agree?
Was that the end of the Lone Star Captain Scarlet toy pistol readers?
Nice, send you a pic of the loose flash gordon gun
ReplyDeleteI have just bought a mint Lone Star Scarlet pistol and holster; I also have a Lone Star Flash Gordon boxed pistol and holster; and yes if you take off the frontend and trigger guard of the Flash pistol - just a nut and bolt, a stubby barrel is revealed; shorter than the Scarlet .
ReplyDeletehey superb! Any chance of a photo for the blog of the short stubby barrel? Thanks. Email address at the bottom of the page: moonbasecentral@.........
