Cool lil cap gun

[Xraywolf]

Found this small ... And I mean small ... All metal cap gun today.
Rang up as a dime and was about 4 inches under.
The little hammer still cocks back, and the trigger still fires it.
It appears to have room for a single old style red paper cap.
In excellent state of preservation, nicely detailed and unfortunatly no identifying marks or numbers on it at all.
If anyone remembers this thing from child hood, or has any info, I'd be much obliged.

Did it have a trigger guard at some point or another? I have tried to find something close to it but everything i have come across has had a trigger guard.

Wow!,,, That things in great shape, WTG!!!
I have found a few myself, but none of them are intact, or work...
Good luck & Happy hunting~

There is no evidence of a busted trigger guard.
Being as small as it is, there would be no way to depress the trigger if it did have one.

Yeah that appears to be exactly the same but with a different logo on the grip.

Looks like an old "Dime store" cap gun to me!

Don't know if you're old enough to remember dime stores or not, but,

they were kind of like the "Dollar store" of today (except better) because 1/2 of everything they sold was still made in the U.S.A.

they were big during the 60s/70s

your gun looks 60s to me!

Cool find!

Hello, I have 3 of these little guns 1 is a roy rogers "smallest cap firing gun in the world" with rr on the handle instead of the flower looking thing. The other 2 are just like yours, they were made by the Classy Products Corp. New york, Ny, (I can't seem to find out any info on the company.) I'm not sure who made the roy rogers one but they look the same except the logo.
