Space outlaw atomic pistol
This 1960s die-cast Space outlaw atomic pistol by BCM Co (Derby) Ltd measures 25cm (L) and is marked inside the cap chamber with Reg Design No. 876355, patent pending.
Two versions of this pistol were available: a chrome-plated model made in England and a nickel-plated version produced in Portugal. The nickel-plated version is the earlier model and is held together with screws rather than rivets.
Both versions fire paper roll caps, with transparent side panels that act as flash chambers, revealing sparks. The red panels can be easily removed for cleaning, and both pistols feature recoil barrels. A telescopic sight and laser rangefinder add to their futuristic appeal.
Due to their popularity, similar versions were marketed under different names. In Spain, the company Bernabeu Gisbert produced a nearly identical model called the “Pistola Espacial.” This unique and eye-catching space gun remains a prized collectible for enthusiasts.
