my guess is somewhere probably between 1930 and 1940, but that's just a guess based on cap guns I've seen from that time period. after WW2, most were a zinc alloy

I had one like it when I was a kid, that would be 1940's. They fired a single cap that came in a flat sheet with perforations, as opposed to the roll caps that were for repeaters. The single shot caps were larger and louder.

Toy guns are always fun to find. I've found 2 so far.
