Gyrojet MBA Mk I Mod B

Scarce Cased MBA Associates Mark I Model B Gyrojet Pistol serial #B367, 13mm Rocket, 5 1/4” smoothbore barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this pistol remain in very fine condition showing some overall wear to the original “antique nickel” finish along with some subtle scattered freckling and light handling marks. There are some darkened areas around the breech and protected areas and the small parts retain all of their bright chrome finish. The dark gray Pearlite grips remain in excellent condition and the action seems to function well mechanically. The pistol includes its original presentation case with maroon baize interior that remains in near excellent condition showing a few small dings and handling marks along the exterior. The brass plaques on the exterior and interior lid are intact along with the Goddard brass medallion in its original plastic wrap and ten original rockets, likely the dummies these cased sets were shipped with. The rockets show some scattered mild tarnishing, one with a firing pin strike and one with four exhaust ports cut rather than the two of the others. Two small photos, presumably of one of the inventors, are also included. A very fine example of these very desirable and interesting rocket pistols.
