✅ SOLVED Part of a gun?

[SCDigginWithAK]

Two people have said it goes to a gun. I somewhat disagree. Can anybody ID this and if possible put a time frame on it.

 

[gsxraddict]

definitely not part of a gun, but no ideas.

No clue honestly.

After looking at pics I realized it has writing on it let me see what it says.

 

[SCDigginWithAK]

It says "To load pull knob up". What could this be?!?!

My first impression was gun, but when I looked closer, it is similar to a gun, but seems more like a piece of a machine, not a gun.

Just a thought, it might be part of an old cap gun. It looks like it would feed a strip of paper caps through the slots anyway, but that's just my first impression.

Gosh, it reminds me of my old cap gun (rifle) feed SCDigginWithAK?

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

ssps...cap gun?

 

[BryanM362]

Could be a part of a cap gun

You need to clean it up and then post pic's of every side , but I also think it's part of a cap gun ... Woodstock

this one...

 

[Stegner]

great ID pic. I was about to say cap gun too...

 

[SCDigginWithAK]

So it's a cap gun. What kind a pistol or the Thompson pictured above?

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

that knob on top, sure looks like a Thompson to me...the model I posted...other models had the bolt handle on the side.

 

[SCDigginWithAK]

Is that a hammer at the top of my piece

I know but I'm not totally sure yet anybody have a time frame?

 

[NOLA_Ken]

My best guess on an era would be maybe late 50's early 60's.... Assuming I'm right on it being part of a cap gun.... I do like it for the Tommy gun mech though, maybe someone can post a pic or drawing to confirm it?

well you would have it upside down since you need to pull up to load.










Look at guns where Triggers insert Like this




& yes I agree on The Button looking like it is to Mimic a Thompson




l'm Going to guess 1960's only because the Pull to load Button seems Very Familiar,
Like I may have had one as a kid.

Either that or I was Clyde in my last life
