Description

Space Patrol Rocket Dart Gun, Hand-Crafted Ed Kemmer-Signed Holster & Belt with Custom Replica Box (US Plastic Co & TruReplica, 1950s). Before Sputnik ever orbited and long before phasers set to stun, Space Patrol rocketed into Saturday-morning living rooms, and this sleek black "Rocket" dart gun was the must-have side-arm for every would-be cadet. Molded in sturdy post-war plastic, the spring-loaded barrel remains free of cracks or warping-testament to careful stewardship across seven decades. Light scuffing speaks to a few childhood sorties, yet the original red rubber-tip dart remains supple and unfaded, ready to thump harmlessly against cardboard meteors once again. Although the mechanism is untested, the trigger moves smoothly, hinting that the rocket still has a few launches left in its drive chamber.
Elevating this blaster to commander-grade status is a hand-stitched, full-grain leather replica holster and belt produced by TrueReplica artisans and boldly autographed "Buzz Corry" by Space Patrol star Ed Kemmer at a collectors-show appearance. The holster's crisp rocket shield, silver rivets, and white trim salute the original studio props, while Kemmer's in-person signature anchors the set with on-screen provenance rarely encountered outside private collections. The ensemble arrives nestled in a custom TrueReplica replica box, turning the lot into an instant display showpiece worthy of any retro-sci-fi shrine.
For collectors of early television ephemera, high-grade toy ray guns, or Hollywood-signed memorabilia, this package delivers the trifecta: authentic 1950s hardware, a museum-quality replica rig, and a first-person link to the man who shouted "Blast off for adventure!" on live TV. Strap it on, aim for the stars, and let Captain Buzz Corry's signature be your launch code to Golden-Age space heroism.
