Bidspirit auction | The Royal Pistol Cap Gun

The Royal Pistol Cap Gun - with Original Spinning Top. Unknown American Maker Pat.'d April 23, 1878 - 5” Long. This cap gun is very complex and absolutely ingenious. Wind the spinning top in the correct place along the gun shaft and lock it in position. For added auditory stimulation, you can slide an exploding cap into the groove on the gun hammer. Pulling the trigger releases the top to the ground, where it makes many spinning revolutions. Toy works very well.
