So I was at a local Salvation Army today and was looking through the toys, as I like to keep an eye out for Nerf blasters and other things with potential.

As luck would have it, my dad found this

Far as I can tell it's an antique cap pistol, though I have no idea how old, all i know is it says Parris on the side and it was made in the USA. The barrel is a little loose but otherwise it's in fine working order.

I figure I may see about a shoulder holster for it to hide it like a derringer.

I've got a rifle version of that, except with a round barrel with no orange and a darker band. I used to play with it a lot when I was a kid, then it got set aside somewhere and forgotten for years. When I found it again, I was amazed at how small the stock seemed to be. XD
