ED'S PLASTIC LUGER WATER PISTOL

Woodsy and Fellow Moonbasers,

I believe it was a few weeks ago water pistol's were featured on the blog - which got me to thinking. Water pistols are not a part of my normal collecting but there were about three - maybe four - types I remember fondly as a kid and it would be fun to add those. 

Fortunately, even vintage squirt guns don't cost that much so the hunt was on for my very best favorite type - the German Luger! 

I always loved these Luger's as a kid and had two or three. However, it always seemed that no matter what type or what brand of squirt gun I owned, they always broke - and quite easily I may add! 

As a result, whenever we went to the store to look for a replacement, we picked up whatever type of pistol the store had, resulting in a variety of squirt guns over the years. Still, the Luger remains my favorite.

I found this header card Luger on fleaBay and after putting it on watch, after a couple of days the seller responded with a lower price offer and I snatched it up! - Yay! It's not enough to keep me cool in 110°F heat so I think it'll just stay in the package! LOL

    1. Thanx Zigg! I do not recall having Palmer kits as a kid. I did a quick search on the Internet and maybe recognized some things I may have seen in stores but just never bought.

    2. I had to chuckle today, sort of. We saw a huge truck on the motorway here. It had KGB Services along each side in huge letters! Blimey!
