Hero Laser Pistol from Forbidden Planet (MGM, 1956).

Vintage original working prop instantly recognizable as the "ray gun" from Forbidden Planet. Constructed of cast resin body and grip, with a brass spool between the tiered, conical clear barrel and tip crafted from turned acrylic. Measuring 10.25" x 6" x 2.25".
