another wheatie and another gun

[pookie-princess of rust]

i found this wheatie in my yard... 1914... my oldest one now... found it near where we had a hammock, so i thought it was gonna be a memorial. boy was i wrong!

then i found this gun... is it real or just a toy it looks like it says "Flash" on it...

That gun looks like it might be real ....most toy guns are made of cast lighter-weight alloy...I'd be interested to see how it looks cleaned up...if the magazine is an independent piece or if it's molded into the frame ,,,hard to tell in it's current condition. I'm betting it's real....NIce Find!

Nice wheatie and gun! Don't know if the gun is real or a toy. Maybe someone else on the forum can tell you.

the gun looks real to me.
just a thought, maybe you could judge it by the weight.
Toy guns are pretty light .
just a thought

Really cool gun. I found one last month and thought it was a toy at first. It turned out being a Civil War pistol. If you need advice on cleaning it let me know.

All the 1914 needed was a "D" on it and you are good to go! Nice Finds!
