The Space Outlaw is my favorite metal chrome gun. When this one came up on ebay I had to go for it. It was listed as"brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item". IT better be! Although it isn't the earlier box I had to buy it because of the supposed condition. It's always amusing to see the original price. This one was $8.98 marked down to $4.98! biggrin.gif I paid a few dollars more! I'm anxious to get it.

Nice one Phil, but it's too clean, lacks character, it needs more wear on it like mine. laugh.gif wink.gif

Great gun Phil! From the box art you can tell it dates from the late 70's due to the Star Wars "Star Destroyer-like" influence. IMO anyway...

I never noticed the flip-up front sight before this example, cool!

Delicious. All that shiny chrome is gorgeous. Very nice pickup Phil!

The rear sight looks like it's inspired by the Marx Tom Corbett Space Cadet Atomic Rifle which may also be the longest name in toy guns.

I love the Space Outlaw design, I had a squirt gun back in the 60s that was an exact duplicate, down to the flip-up site. Okay, it wasn't chrome, it was green and the flip-up site was red, but otherwise it was a duplicate of the Space Outlaw. laugh.gif
