JET PISTOL - KS or SK - JAPAN

Blue lithographed tinplate space gun with red and yellow detailing including a rocket and Saturn. This distinctive space gun has a flared barrel containing spark windows on either side. At the back is a blue plastic rotating three finned tail assembly. Marked Jetpistol on the handle. Friction action with noise, spark and rotating tail.

The maker KS/SK is not known for manufacturing space toys and this perhaps accounts for the uniqueness of this design.
