I is for 'In the Nick of Time'!

Spotted this online, on Monday (15th April), and only arriving an hour ago, I've quickly had it out, photographed it, duplicated 20-odd images for a .gif (hopefully loaded below!) and am now firing off a hurried blurb, before slotting it in somewhere, I think there's only two posts today (Thurs.) so it may be here new, or it may be added to Sunday or Monday?!!!

As it arrived; it's tied to several brands one way or another, but more important, it credits an artist/designer, so he should get a name-check first; Jason Pang. It appears to have been designed for Fred (Forward Fred/Fred and Friends/Genuine Fred) 'a division' of Lifetime Brands' (who are also the European distributer as Kitchencraft), sub-branded to Hoobbe and manufactured in China . . . by 'DGN' (if you believe Erwin!) and I got it from Herts of Stur!

Out of the box . . . is that a Gallil or G3 assault rifle, seems to be a bit of both?

The marking in full is exactly the same as the previous ones we looked at 23-0917-DGN [CH], which, as per last time is read backwards; it's actually China, Design No. 23-0917, there is no maker called DGN!

If it's worked there's a [rather wobbly] .gif here of a fat-knacker getting some exercise! I should have used a tripod, but is was all a bit rushed!

The egg is a papier-mâché addition to those we've looked at in the past at this time of year! Happy Easter all!
