U.N.C.L.E. GUN

Spend the day with your uncle. From the Spy Vibe collection: rare Japanese Man From U.N.C.L.E. magazine clippings depict agent Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) assembling the famous U.N.C.L.E. gun. The original prop was a modified Walther P38 with shoulder stock, scope, long clip, and silencer. As they mention in the special feature below, the U.N.C.L.E. gun was so popular with fans that it was seen as a character in the show- it even received its own fan mail! If you're interested in finding a replica, check out Samaritan Arts here.
