COLLECTORS CAP GUN

Little .45\" TOY Cap Gun made in the mid 1950\'s by the American Miniature Gun Mfg. Co of Hollywood, CA as described in Bob Urso\'s book, The Tiniest Guns , Third Edition.

\"Manufactured by the American Miniature Gun Mfg. Co. of Hollywood, California,and marketed as the Frontier \"45\". On much of it\'s literature it was also referenced to as the \"Little .45\". A difficult to classify miniature, although modeled after the Colt Frontier Single Action Army revolver, it is not a true miniature of that gun. The Frontier \"45\" is a six shot, single action, revolver with a hand rotated cylinder. At 31/2\" OAL, this little beauty is much nicer than a toy, but not quite a true miniature. Manufactured in the 1950\'s it has more detail, and is more functional than the best of the toy miniatures. It\'s barrel (cylinder) rotates.It has half and full cock. It has a flip down, side loading gate, and fires brass, percussion cap-like ammunition. Expended shells (caps) are ejected with a functioning spring loaded ejector, just like on the real thing. It is unusual in that the complete trigger guard acts as its trigger and is pulled back to fire. ... The clean finish on these guns suggest that they are sturdy little pieces. They were however, cast in pot metal. It is the care that was taken in finishing these guns that makes them look more substantialthan they actually are.This is a popular gun with collectors and a relatively difficult gun to find.\"
