Thank you so much to Nhbenz for the super fast ID! I too have never seen a cast iron toy gun so i was pretty happy to pluck this one from the ground. It looks like everything is still intact including the trigger. You cant see the trigger in the picture because its pushed back. But its there.
Again, thank you!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I had the Shootin' shell Derringer belt buckle when I was a kid. Being a kid in the 1950's, toy guns were always a big part of the toys we played with. I had a number of different cap guns and pistols but my all time favorite was a gun that was made to look like the gun that Chuck Connors had when he played "The Rifleman" on TV. All us kids would have many "gunfights" with those cap guns and I'm pretty sure that none of us became criminals because of it.Agree, great ID Nhbenz.
When I first looked at your gun, I remembered I got the Mattel Shootin Shell Derringer / Belt Buckle that would actually shoot a projectile (shootin shell).
Here's a pic...

The derringer would pivot out when you flexed your stomach muscles.
Wish a had a time machine and could go back and bring a few cases of these back.
They also made rifles and pistols that were good replicas of real guns. Here's a pistol in the box. Wonder what the message to the parents said...

I had to laugh about the note on this pic about the safe bullets...

Guess we didn't shoot our eyes out!

Yep...loved playing cops and robbers cowboys and Indians and of course war! Can’t do that today. Poor children have to stay inside and let someone else shape their imaginations for them.
