007 RAYGUN

While hunting images for my vintage RAYGUN Pinterest board, I came across an interesting find. A James Bond related piece was manufactured in Argentina in the 1960s called the "007" Linterna Espacial. The model, released in green or red, used the same molds and box illustration as the Pifco Zetaray gun (below in silver/blue), and was a battery-powered flashlight gun.
