Ladies and gentlemen, we have a bidder! The auction action is heating up, and the Buck Rogers Atomic Pistol is causing quite a stir. To the potential bidder who inquired as to whether or not it was actually fired by Buck Rogers, I can confirm that it was. In fact, this gun - and his badge - was taken away from Buck near the end of his galactic career after an 'incident' at a space-bar on the wrong side of the system.

It seems Buck had downed a few pints of Pulsar, when a pair of Mongols came in and started slamming down some Pulsar of their own. It wasn't long before insults were thrown - 'You going home with Twiki tonight, Rogers?' - and Buck earned his reputation as a loose phaser.

So bid with confidence!
