✅ SOLVED Gun Part?

[Jackthedetectorist]

Hi,

I found this gun part detecting a turn of the century property. It appears to have a lead base and an iron trigger guard. I am not sure the brand name that is listed on the base of the gun or how old it could be. I think I see ANCH and then a bunch of other letters that I can't make out. It is heavy but it could just be a toy gun piece.

Thanks.

Looks like the remains of a toy cap gun to me.

not lead , pot metal which is a dead giveaway it's from a toy.

Dueling at Vassar? Egad!
Posted on March 6, 2013 by Joanna

…Just before we came away Varina [Brown, ’89], and Corinne Keen [’89] had a duel. These little affairs are becoming quite the fashion of late at the College. Corinne and Varina were both nominated Vice President of Alpha. Varina was elected and Corinne challenged her to a duel, and asked me to be her second. We had a great time. I sent a challenge to Brown (as we called V) and she chose Louise Poppenheim [’89], as her second. Pop– then in writing accepted the challenge and signed himself Louis P–. The weapons, he stated, were to be Blanchon pistols (in other words toy pop guns — the corks when they fly out make a very loud report.
