Item Description
c.1930s. 2x5x23" box. Top and bottom panels show two boys playing with guns while side panels have assembly instructions and flint replacement directions. Scarce box is complete, clean, tight and Exc. Contains very nicely designed 23” long tin litho gun w/wood stock. Body of gun has nice simulated detailing including adjustments and bullet chamber w/bullets. On the left side is illustration of two G-Men holding machine guns. The separate piece representing the revolving bullet chamber has additional illustration on back of G-Man w/gun. Text "G-Man Gun" appears w/both of these illustrations while the front grip has additional "G-Man" name on each side. Toy works and has built-in key. Gun produces a loud firing sound. No longer sparks as the flint holder is missing a flint but this can be easily replaced by lifting up the flint cover on barrel. Tin litho body has scattered paint nicks and scratches, lt. oxidation to inside trigger guard, trigger, and windup key. Overall Fine and a difficult gun to find in this complete condition and with the box.
