ditchman Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 is that the same company that used to make fireworks ? where on earth do you find this bloody tat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptC Posted April 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Tat??? I think Sir that you are referring to the highest quality collectible items! The Astra Company were based in London W12. They were a rival company to Britton’s die cast toys. Not the same company as the fireworks. Where do I find my “bloody tat?” - That’s more secretive than being a Mason.

CaptC Posted April 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 The box only contained the gun. It says so on the label. Apparently there were variations which included a search light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Well I think that it’s absolutely brilliant and a good talking point. A very rare find I would imagine. I’m sure someone would love to own it. Good luck with the sale. OB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
