Airgun-Rep…
(1 item)
We repair vintge Daisy and Crosman airguns but have never have seen anything like this. It looks like it was designed to hold a flanged primer a littel smaller that a shotgun prmer. I've shown a pic of the hammer in the cocked position to show the extrractor. The only marking on the gun are the letters M.F.G. on the bottom of the receiver. Anythin you can tell me about this toy gun would be appreciated. Please resond to baker19711@yahoo.com Dennis Baker, Baker Airguns

"Vintage pre-WWI, derringer-style blanks starter pistol"
This is a Flobert Blank Pistol designed to use a .22 blank cartridge.
I have one of these. I'm not sure when they were first manufactured, but they were still being sold in 1939, and advertised in a Stoegers Gun Catalogue for $3.25.
