Have any of you heard of it, It is a very old pump gun that I acquired recently, but I am not sure how old it really is. :P Anyone know?

I've never actually heard of that marker before. Might be something from like the middle/late eighties. Was it in good condition for that matter?

it is in excellent condition, I plan on playing around with it when I have some C02. (would run air, but I think I will just use the 7oz bottle of C02 it came with)

I was just wondering how much of an antique this thing is. :P

It was a nelson-style pump made by TASO from around 1988 to 1995. It was considered "high quality", and popular as rentals in the early 90s.

You can find pictures and info on them at mcarterbrown.com and vintagerex.com

I got mine in 1989, it has the delron pump and the 12 gram quick thread. If you need parts the only place that I know of is Airsoldier.

Sorry for digging up an old post, but I really like my Taso and I know how hard it is to get info on these.
