I sold most of my old rusted toy guns on ebay a few months ago.
Found a new old one the other day though.
seems like every yard that had little cowboys there was a gun buried somewhere
I found this Daisy In our barn last year . The handles are coming apart and there is a bolt some one added . I'm not sure how old it is , Doesn't work any more - A mud-wasp made a nest in barrel .
Here's one I've been itching to show off. I didn't make it but the craftsmanship in incredible down to the last detail. A personal friend made this for my wife last year. It is 23" long and made of all wood. Several types of wood too. I wouldn't sell it for a thousand dollars!
I dug this one up at the 1830's home last December. It had CW activity too, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw this in the hole (it was covered in dirt at the time). Once I got it out I realized it was a toy. It is my only complete gun so far.
