Wow you're a gun detectorist mate... :Y:

 

[Goldpick]

Quite a unique toy pistol Silver, considering it has the Aussie labelling. I reckon a majority of them would have been either from asia or the US back in the day.

 

[silver]

I looked it up. It's made by Pope. It's a cap gun

Funny how as detectorists we manage some sort of reasoning that enables us to openly keep and collect what others would just bin , .. and don't we do it ooooohhh so proudly hey !

[ktmman]

Save the sneaky silver until the end,almost thought you missed out :Y:

 

[Goldpick]

Still a good range of finds there Silver, made up for the previous hunt with an older silver. I edited wollen to woollen for you.

 

[silver]

Thanks fellas !
Is a good looking gun gda and Sandta(lol at the one sided gun hey), and lol at my spelling Gp hey (I might be a little tyred lol). :lol:
And I like the surprise attack silvers ktmman :lol:
And the hammer RJ, well, its found itself a great new home to go to already, into the post on the morrow to one of our own here on PA.

 

[silver]

That latest gun after a bath with water and a gentle rub with a green brillo pad.

the wash has loosened up the trigger nicely, but I think any spring mechanism has rusted away.
spot the difference lol.

You can see the otherside has that bit missing on the barrel.

heres a closeup of the missing bit space for anyone that just needs to see it up close for life to flow smothly lol :Y:

still has that dirty out of the ground patina going on
I'm quite enjoying finding the odd pistol every now and again as an enjoyment of its own aside from single silvers (mostly lol) :Y:
edit in:- the thing I did notice about the gun is that it has no provision at all for a roll of caps to be inserted at all, so it was either pull the trigger and yell bang (like we all did when there were no caps) or, it had an extra bit maybe to hold just one cap at a time ,... of that I'm not sure.
here's the business end shot.
