A matched pair? just for fun

Jasta2 · 10-17-2018, 06:40 PM

I always look out for Luger toys ( among looking for real accessories) when at flea markets or antique store group shops. The one on the right I found at the big Webster Flea Market in Webster, Fl. a few years back. This summer I found the one on the left at the large ( 5,000 dealers they say) flea Market/ antique shows in Brimfield, Ma. I thought I had a matched pair until came back to Fl. The only thing they had in common was their color and were water pistols. The larger one ( about 80% full size) looks like to have a Marx trade mark. But looks like a small bird/eagle inside the small circle. also marked, "Made in Taiwan. The smaller one is boldly marked "Agent 033" inside a circle on the grip. The other side is marked "Palmer Plastics" "Made in USA". From the "AGENT" I take it is from the 60's. So I feel the smaller on is the older of the two. Some member might not be into the toy Lugers, but they are fun to look for ( along with any Volkswagen toys!!) while the wife is out shopping the dealers. Say 7 hours worth. Enlarging the photos show better detail. Thanks for looking.

Nice. But do the numbers match?

Mostly matching, but the larger of the two has a nonmatching toggle and it is import marked. Mostly valued as a shooter.
