Star Trek: The Original Series, Mid / Late SEASON-I PHASER-II

replica movie prop weapon

I recently built this version of a TOS Season One 'white-handled' Phaser-II. It's similar to my previous replicas, but represents the TV prop as it appeared later in Season One.  The one big difference between this version and my earlier works is the P-II power control knob - instead of the early 'mushroom cap' knob, this P-II features the later style which looks somewhat like the standard knob from Season 2 & 3. This early control knob lacks any detail at all (just polished aluminum all over) and does not have the black 'cap' associated with the Season 2 & 3 versions of the control dial. Other differences - the 'flip up' sight on the P-I works on this version, the P-I release pin on the P-II is movable (spring loaded), the beam emitter is the standard style (flat faced emitter housing + standard conical emitter tip).
