TOS Scalosian Weapon from "Wink of An Eye"

Presented below are some detailed photos of a screen used alien phaser weapon that was first employed in the 3rd Season TOS episode "Wink Of An Eye" (First airdate: Nov. 29, 1968) as a Scalosian weapon; and then re-used in the episode "The Cloud Minders" (First airdate: Feb. 28, 1969) as the weapon carried by the palace guards of the sky city of Stratos. Some episode screenshots featuring the phaser are shown following the modern day images.

Many thanks to long time Star Trek fan and collector Paolo in Italy for his kind permission to display these photos.
