This remarkably beautiful cast metal ray gun was probably made in Australia, at least that is where it was found and purchased from a person who had owned it since childhood. The gun is a pop gun which works just like the Buck Rogers Rocket Pistol. It is cocked by pumping the handgrip. The gun is embossed with the word "Planet" beside the trigger and with planets and stars on the barrel. Maker unknown. Length 9 inches. If anyone knows more about this gun please let me know!
