After YEARS of searching and researching - hours spent try to screen cap - enhance and guesstimate Size shape and features - one of the actual complete pistols from Galaxy of Terror showed up for auction. The price is already out of my range to bid. I would pay $ 3K for it - but I would be sleeping in the dog house. I loved the design and all the props from the B-Movie Roger Corman - Skotek Brothers film, The story was little cheezy but the visuals rocked.
I built one version in 1983. I built a better one in 1991. In 2016 I finally get to see where I had gone wrong. Since I can't afford the original - I will build this one someday.
AUCTION: https://www.screenused.com/?sectionID=item-detail&subsectionID=index.cfm&item_id=20078
Youtube video of the complete movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9Ogzl5kubY
I did not know anything still existed.
I have posted this thread for FYI and have no affiliation with the auction - owner - or any other reason except to provide info for those who might be interested in the fate of the prop. I have dreamed and searched for thirty five years for this prop. I was not sure where to post this thread on the RPF. A thread about a real prop I wished I owned. (Mods where does that fall on the RPF? )
