Looks like a Brad Nelson to me... definitively not authentic. They seldom are...

EDIT - here we go.

SL is right. That's a Brad Nelson. It was ALMOST an original since Gene Roddenberry wanted to use it for Phase 2.

Last Nelson phaser sold for $200 on eBay, so I'd say this one is a little high lol

I'd offer him 250.00 for it...

Yep. Brad Nelson. Nice early replica example, but definitely not a screen used one.

Actually it is Production-Bought but not Screen-Used.

Gene bought 12 from Brad but they were never used for the ill-fated Phase-2 series.

The Price is high right now for it but I sold one of mine for $4000.00 back in the early 90's but mine was in mint condition.

Wonder if that's a convention version or one of the ones done for Roddenberry? Sounds like the electronics are dead though. Big loss in value there. $3,500 is way high for that.

It is a Convention Version circa 1975-1977.

It is one of the old ones thats for sure.

The ones sold to Gene/Paramount were ALL non-working.
