hey Guys, I was looking through my spares earlier this evening and I need some help identifying a few items. Here is the first item

Life support pack, are they medic or space man ? also what era ?




Next are these guns,






and last, this jumper, knitted. Looks to good to be home made, any ideas ??




thanks guys

Space radio should have two records

Space gun plugs into a pack and lights up and could be 1st issue french jumper but mike an confirm this what you reckon mike ???

Other gun looks knock off mate

cheers Dan , so they are space man then? why two designs ??

No, that's not a 1st issue VAM jumper. The GI Joe one is chunkier than the VAM one and looks a bit similar, but it would have a label. That looks like a nice homemade one to me - remember that there were lots of knitting patterns sold specially for AM back in the day and mums and grans that had to make do and mend in the post-war years were very good at making them.

cheers Mike , It is very chunky, there is no label but it did come in a lot of a fair bit of AT stuff

The life support pack is from the Astronaut, cat n° 34156, according to Alan Hall vol 2 page 60.
He says it was only 2 years in production.
"An authentic astronaut outfit complete with interchangeable record back pack. Two double sided records featured realistic space sounds and adventures, making this one of the most exciting space suits ever produced".
On your picture it is missing the antenna (same as commander radio), a white button to activate the mechanism and an orange tube on front, similar to the British Infantryman gas mask one.

The first gun is this one :




It goes with the Action Man Battlepack and laser. It is pictured in volume 3 pate 103.

Its also missing its rare red cover but mine might be a prototype as i have only ever seen it on mine and in the Action Man Manuel ???

Be nice to know if anyone else has a red cover with theirs
