A pistol used throughout the Buck Rogers television series (1979-81), has just sold on eBay for $2,750. It has a clear plastic firing tip and lights that can be controlled with a micro-switch controller. The gun was used by Buck Rogers’ sidekick, Hawk and it is 12 inches long. It is a cool piece of television history and considering that the estimated price was $800 – $1,200, it would probably be safe to assume that someone really loved the show.
