RARE 1993/4 Badger Australian Perentie Paintball Badger Blow Forward Semi Auto

[forest_ptp]

SOLD! This is #2 (1 of 3) of the custom Badgers built for Mike Wallis by Bruce Roberts (co-founder of Perentie Paintball) in Australia... SUPER Rare! Not fired since purchased from Mike in 1994. Cleaned, polished, and shoots 100%! BEYOND RARE!!!! $750 Shipped CONUS!

The Badger was made in a small town of Seville, Australia (Just outside Melbourne). The Badger was a gun made out of necessity, at the time Australia had banded the importing of semi-auto guns. Bruce Roberts and Darren Hayes decided that they needed to make a semi-auto paintball marker in Australia to help keep the sport that they come to love alive in Australia. They started Perentie Paintball. The Badger was produced from 1993 until Bruce’s untimely death in March of 1996. https://youtu.be/_ejIGsQBNtA

I have only ever seen super beat up versions of this marker. This is a true wall hanger!

One of three custom built this way. I bought it from Mike Wallis (the real expert from OZ on these - and most everything Australian) in 1994 at the World Cup I believe. Had left untouched until doing a full disassembly last week, cleaned, polished the brass, back together, and shoots like new! Pretty cool, and about zero chance there will be another one in the wild...

🤔

Gorgeous though 😛🤤

Pick this one up, boys, you won't get another chance to buy one in this lifetime

I noticed that too, but I imagine the meaning was with paint or in-game. Still - lol

It went quickly, and going to really good home. And, yes dry fired in 1994, and then not again until last week. Amazing that after a 100% teardown, it went back together, with no leaks, no issues, and really does likely cycle the way it did when it was handed from Bruce to Mike W! That polished brass looks crazy good, and when asked: The audience won't know they're wearing silk underwear.” Ziegfeld replied: “The girls will know.”

This is the one i was talking about, you can see so much of the ideation of “what is this marker going to be” captured. Really interesting to look at and wonder about the choices made to even arrive here.
