you say

really small

can you post a pic with something for size reference ?

Size of silver Cartwheel Dollar or Half Dollar ? does it look like it may have had a loop like Key chain Fobs Have ?



Smaller ? maybe from Monopoly Game ? or crackerjack ?

Heavy ? or light aluminum type cast ?

That rules out the Petronel if it's that small.

I was just going to say if it is heavy , it is probably not a Key fob.
Or either of my other guesses

 

[diggummup]

Is this a solid piece of metal with no moving parts?
Or does the hammer and trigger move?
Does it stick to a magnet?
Is the barrel hollow?

You have a cast metal miniature flintlock toy pistol popular with kids in the 1950's on...made by Arcade, Tootsietoy, Gray Iron, or Marx...(I will try to confirm for you...) They were sold on display cards. A really nice find, congrats! Sub
