In the first two seasons, the cricket was all silver. It never appeared in Season 3 from what I can recall. From season 4 onward (the two times it was used on TNG from that point and the one time it was used on Voyager), it had the black/copper/silver paint scheme to try and match the cobrahead phasers.

They also changed from the dustbuster phaser to the cobrahead to the boomerang.

Dustbuster was used from season 1-2 of TNG.
Cobrahead was used in TNG seasons 3-7, Generations, DS9 seasons 1-3, Voyager seasons 1 and the first few episodes of season 2 (since season 2 started with unused episodes originally produced for season 1). The original cobrahead phaser (used on season 3 and the first half of season 4 of TNG) was larger than the later cobraheads and had a power meter like that of the boomerang and dolphin (which was omitted from the later cobrahead).
The boomerang was used from DS9 seasons 4-7, Voyager seasons 2-7, First Contact, and Insurrection. The first appearance of the boomerang was in the DS9 season 4 premiere, "The Way of the Warrior".
The dolphin was used only in Nemesis. It was an adaptation of a design made for Voyager's finale "Endgame" as a 25th century phaser, but was never seen on screen.

They shoudln't have changed the phaser and tricorder desigsn on Voyager. That wouldn't happe if they were 70,000 light years away.

I remember thinking the dolphin phaser was kind of odd.

Well if you want a Type III Phaser Rifle and you are willing to do some work, for $200.00 or so you could build yourself one like I did.
I recall reading that playmates was going to make a toy phaser rifle. That would have been pretty cool. Too bad they didn't.

Yeah, but I don't recall seeing the Bajoran Tricorder on DS9 at all.

Sorry
That doesn't look like the prop.

It was going to be a laser tag type toy too. They also planned on a laser tag cobrahead phaser as well.
That's a Stapleton cricket, I believe. It is not completely screen accurate, but it is one of the best cricket interpretations around (in my opinion the best). I have a couple of them myself.

Cool. A Star Trek laser tag would have been really cool.

I'm pretty sure Kira used one in the 4th season episode Return To Grace. I found this Picture.
