Star Trek: The Original Series mid-grade type-1 hand phaser - (NBC-TV, 1966-1969) This is a very rare mid-grade type-1 hand phaser used for closer shots. Constructed of hollow Fiberglas, wooden emitter tip with an aluminum power dial and acrylic gauge. This prop was used by the production for closer shots. Rubber and vacuum formed props were used for stunts and more distant shots. Originally constructed and used during the first season, this particular prop still shows remnants of its first season black paint scheme underneath. It was re-painted dark gray and redressed for second season use. Originally from the collection of renowned Star Trek Compendium author, Allen Asherman, who obtained this prop from Gene Roddenberry during the series second season in the late 60s and comes with Mr. Asherman's letter of provenance. This is the first mid-grade hand phaser we have ever handled, and the provenance is extraordinary.
