c. 1950s. Original box has moderate wear to one end flap having 2" tear but complete w/exception of one inside flap. Despite obvious defect on one side, box still displays VF. Box contains 7.25" long well-made gun w/heavy cast metal body and plastic grips. Gun is designed w/raised name "Atomic Disintegrator" on each side along w/nice futuristic design including simulated power setting knob on right side. Uses roll caps. Grips have nearly none of the typical warping and gun itself is unused. NM example of this classic space gun. Nicest condition example of this gun we have ever offered.
