Bill Kibbel Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 1840s percussion pistol. The electrical tape was probably added a little later. Looks like it spent its retirement years being used as a kids toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Found this on top of the foundation wall today. Treated it like a loaded gun too. It looks as if it would be just as dangerous to the person behind it as it would be to the person in front of it. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I found this while digging in my yard. It took a few hours to get the action working. Obviously, it's still not a shooter. Anyone know anything? I think it's a 1910-1920 throw away. Click to Enlarge 40.38 KB Click to Enlarge 48.58 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Is that your artwork under the gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Art is a strong word. What's under the gun is how my mind interprets and then represents a phone conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 It looks like a 22 cal. pocket pistol. I used to have one from the 1880's still in it's original box with a box of rounds - along with a small collection of other pocket pistols. Sadly, when I went into the military in 1974, I took 'em all down to The Armory, a gun store in Woodinville, CT and sold them all. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Bill Kibbel Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Late 19th century, .22 rim fire pocket revolver with embossed hard rubber grips. Hard to figure out who made it. There were many manufacturers as there was a big demand at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I was there to slap your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
