Im still seing the same words. Im determined to find this but with no luck...

 

[ed-209]

Possibly part of a shower head????
Remember...this was something made in the UK.

would a shower head have a predominantly visible seam line?

Probably not...what do you think it might be? Any ideas????

Anybody guess any of the other parts?

It would if it was part of a stunt weapon cast off a hero.

Man, what a google trap! Def. spent at least an hour and a half total over the last few days to try to find this thing, but so far, still no luck. It does look vaguely familiar. The writing is just too unclear to help.

Things it could be:

A nozzle of some sort? Hose, shower, fire?

A vintage hair dryer diffuser?

The more I look, a plastic shower head seems very possible. I will post some pics if I find something closer. TRYING ED!

 

[Lancer]

a shower head would also have a seam line if it was a cheap dense rubber item rather than a hard plastic piece.

Man, what a google trap!

Right there with ya'....same here....It's really trying that we can SEE the writing but it's just a bit too blurry to make it out...AAAARRGGHHH!!!!

I wrote to a guy on YourProps.com that has a stunt one and asked if he can make out the writing on his...if any. Lets hope he writes me back.

Ed

PS Sorry for all the eye strain I've caused you guys...
A round of eye drops all around!!!

 

[ed-209]

Can anyone replicate these parts?

Hey Ed,

Think I am getting warmer. Looks like the shape is VERY similar to a swing check valve.

WOW!!!
Now THAT's pretty close...I do think you're on the right track!!!
EXCELLENT detective work!!! You get a cookie.

[ed-209]

Heres one I found when I checked UK sites...
Ed

 

[ed-209]

Still no idea on the other parts?

 

[ed-209]

Here is a prototype of the Moonraker Laser pistol.
Still needs a bit more more to make it more accurate.
I've installed a laser that is activated by the trigger.

Very cool! What are the discs in the rear? Part of the original timing light?

 

[ed-209]

The discs are nothing more than blued steel thumbscrews from a scope mount I once had. I cut the threaded rod off the back and attached them unto the silver things which...I have NO idea what they are from. I bought them from a surplus outlet that sells really cool parts. They have metal shelves...one after another in a huge warehouse piled with this kind of stuff!!!

Added an LED which is also operated by pulling the trigger.

Fantastic!

Have you seen the Bond toy figure from Moonraker. It shows an added white piece on the gun on the muzzle. Is that accurate or something they added to the toy?
