steviesterno Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) hey all, random question for this forum, but I know you all are some of the most knowledgable in the shooting arts. I was cleaning up the gun stuff, and found this little guy I bought in probably high school at a flea market for $5. My mom thought it was a toy, or I never would have gotten it. I can't seem to find any good information on it, and I'm not sure where to look. It's not in amazing condition, the lock mechanism can pop out easily. I wanted to check into see if it was anything of value or history before I used wood screws to lock it up for good. I did check to make sure it was unloaded by putting a dowel down the barrel and making sure it went all the way to the back of the barrel, so I think we're good there. Any help or leads would be appreciated. Thanks! Edited September 26, 2015 by steviesterno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviesterno Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Ah, the legit looking marks threw me. So I'm guessing there's no real collector value huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I think you may have over paid for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think you may have over paid for it... I'm not sure about that... running around pretending you're a pirate is worth it to me. Pawn Stars had me hoping it was worth money, but I'm happy if it's not. I can sand it and paint it and screw with it and not worry about ruining any value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
