STREAMLINE TOY CAP PISTOL BY REPLICAST

Hello Woodsy

The question of where caps for cap guns were purchased reminded me of this pistol. 

I purchased it from my local newsagent in 1973. Made by Replicast in the UK. I kept this one and purchased a couple of others as gifts. That was the last time I bought rolls of caps, which I'm sure delighted the mothers of the recipients. 

I liked the packaging as a simple approach rather than the old Lone Star packaging with drawings of cowboys on horses. 

This being a US Civil War pistol I placed a Timpo US Cavalryman with it for scale. 

Back in the 50's there was a cavalry pistol made by Lone Star that was more a Colt Peacemaker than the longer barreled ones actually used, I think they also painted it blue. 

Nostalgia is such fun!
