First working capgun

[goldencoin]

Hello everyone, i'm still here and detecting. Haven't been anywhere new but i went to my grandparents house today and found my first working cap gun. Better yet it is probably my dad's or my uncle's. Also found a fishing weight and clad....

Very stylish indeed!

It's always a great sign to find even a piece of a toy gun, because you know kids have been playing there back in the day!

That's the nicest looking dug up one I can remember ever seeing.

Nice find!

Pretty cool looking gun.

Wow, a pearl handled cap gun!! Hope it was discarded (maybe because of the barrel) and not lost by a kid. These were the 'in'-type toys of their day. At least three cowboys marketed their PHCGs: Wild Bill Hickok, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. The steerhead might lead you to the exact cowboy.
Nice find; gave me pause to think of those tamer days.

Times were simpler then, nowadays its real guns and kids, too bad.
Bring back the 50's.......

Keep safe...

It looks like a hubley, I've got one around here somewhere. I think it is a TEX model, but I could be wrong. Nice find.

I like it too. It's always great to find things that we know or suspect where lost by someone's we know.

HH and thanks for sharing.
