Hunk of junk

Sent this to my wife with no caption lol She thought it was real. I think it’s a 1950-60s cap gun from what I compared it too , it’s going the engravings on other side

Doesn't look like a hunk of junk to me! I love finding old cap guns! Clean that baby up and display it proudly!

Yes I’m going to keep it, just wish it had been in better shape

Here is one I restored for display purposes back in 2017.

The zinc alloy they're made of really doesn't hold up well, yours looks relatively intact compared to what I mostly find

Very nice , would those machines work on rust and take off multiple layers? I need to find something or electrolysis

You cap gun looks like it is die-cast, so there shouldn't be much rust. Obviously has a lot of crud on it, which would loosen up a lot.
