Here's a nifty little cap gun that found its way into the collection recently: Nichols Spitfire Hip Gun with Clip. The clip was meant to slide onto a childs belt and theoretically the hip gun could be drawn and fired quickly. I s'pose once there was a bit of play wear that was possible, but mine is in near mint condition and the little gun - 8 1/2" (21.59cm) long - fits quite snugly into the clip. There are two 'bullets' which consist of an inner piece and outer sleeve. Little round caps (which I don't have) would be placed on the inner piece and the sleeve placed over it. Then the bullet gets inserted into the chamber ready to fire. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
