While I do not collect toy guns, I am interested in Australian made die-cast and ‘A Pope Product’ Diecast Toy Gun caught my attention while I was researching a die-cast toy car that I added to my collection recently.
Update November 2015: I have now added two Aussie Cap Guns to my die-cast collection.
Two Pope Product 'Aussie' single shot cap guns. Purchased from a seller in Tasmania.
The top gun still retains much of the silver paint. The second gun is much more play worn but still works.
The following images are from my original page about these guns. I am still looking to purchase a Ned Kelly Repeating Cap Pistol or Gun that was another Pope Product.
This small pistol appears to be a cap gun but a single shot load.
This close up of the hand grip shows the trigger mechanism and the AUSSIE imprint in the casting.
I assume the marketing name was something like ‘Aussie’ cap gun.
Thanks to A Little Bit Dusty in Adelaide for the photos of this hand gun.
Searching further and I have found a similar item in a forum entry on gold and metal detecting. The bullet along with it is interesting but I doubt that this was meant to be fired with the cap gun.
This is the same model as the clean one shown above.
And on a similar site, with another round of metal detecting identifying a Pope Ned Kelly repeating cap gun.
