Our expert's notes

Colonel Paul Foster’s (Michael Billington) SHADO rifle from the British sci-fi series UFO. Colonel Foster grabbed his rifle when he attempted to kill Commander Ed Straker (Ed Bishop) after he was exposed to a mind-altering implant in the seventh episode of the first series, titled “Kill Straker!”

The rifle was created by noted special effects technician, Derek Meddings. It is made from a combination of wood and resin components finished in black, with a faux-silver metal barrel added to the front to create a futuristic aesthetic to the piece. Cast-in detailing decorates the grip and a long brown leather strap is attached via metal mounts. The trigger features a small button device which would have been used to produce pyrotechnic effects on set; however, it no longer functions. The barrel displays an indentation on top where a separate sight piece used to be attached, and the weapon shows scratches and paint wear, most notably on the sight. Dimensions: 103 cm x 5 cm x 18 cm (40 ¾” x 2” x 7 ¼”)
