1964 Horikowa, Battery Operated Panther Machine Gun in Original Box
Horikowa produced this huge two foot long, tin litho, battery operated machine gun just about 40 years ago. Easily grading excellent+ to near mint it comes complete with original box. Best of all every one of it's complex actions works beautifully. All tin litho metal with plastic sniper scope it's handsomely embossed with silver ornamentation, front and rear contoured grips, and a full color portrait of a leopard (not a panther) on both sides of the stock. It's loaded with some really neat battery operated features. Squeeze the metal trigger and the 8" long, gear driven, fully enclosed gold plastic bullet clip starts to revolve. Simultaneously it produces a loud RAT-TAT-TAT while emitting a shower of yellow sparks from the transparent barrel chamber. The combination of all three actions is awesome! The original box has a hinged lid with a nearly full panel illustration of the Machine Gun. A simple schematic showing how to load the revolving bullet clip is included on the front and rear side panels. Size: 24" long, 10" wide (bullet clip attached). Sold: Jan. 2006
Price Sold: $ 226
