The 888 Space Gun is among the most whimsical and delightful toy ray guns ever made. Fancifully decorated with stars, the planet Saturn, a rocket ship, and a cowboy-gun-like cylinder, the gun was probably made in the early 1950s. It so similar to the DIA cap gun that one would guess both were made by the same manufacturer. The 888 space gun is a cap pistol and is only three inches long.
