Well sort of...... As I neared my 100th laser pointer I decided I wanted this one to be special so I held out building anything unless it would be truly unique, or I would buy something that would be very important to me. After a couple months I finally found it, a first generation Wicked Lasers Spyder! But why isn't this my 100th laser you ask? Well, when compiling a list of all my lasers I realized I missed the mark by a couple and this is actually my 106th laser, whomp. On to the pictures!
It arrived in a very nice display/storage case
There is a drop out battery tray that puts both of the batteries in a parallel configuration.
The aperture window is square and has a light blue tint, I think it might be an IR filter.
You can see a square cutout around the button that was probably used to drop the switch and driver straight down into the host during assembly. The button sticks out quite a way and has almost no tactile feel to it and is quite a firm press to get the laser to turn on.
Despite being the smallest generation it weighs nearly as much as the 2nd and 3rd Gen's put together! It feels like it might be made out of very thick brass.
Its so satisfying having all three generations in 532nm DPSS, I've wanted this laser since 2007!
