Vintage Antique Scarce 1909 Patent National Die Cast 5" Cap Gun Working Order (Patented June 29, 1909).Cap guns
first appeared following the end of the American Civil War in the mid-1860s
, when firearms companies experimented with toy guns in order to stay in business. Cap guns became especially popular when the heroes of cinema and television rode through the West ridding the territories of villains.
Cap guns
were originally made of cast iron
, but after World War II
were made of zinc alloy,
and most newer models are made of plastic.
