Found this cute little gun at a 1930s house. The silver came from there as well oddly enough. Ill take two Barbs 1911d and 1899 over rosies or Mercs any day. The gun has some cool colors especially the faux "blueing" on the nicer side. Too bad the color didnt transfer that great in the photos. There is also a cool little metal tag from what I believe is a 1930s or 40s lawn rake. Thanks for looking.

In agreement about the Barbers over mercs and rosies, love to see Barbers posted. The gun is really cool and I would place that over a merc or rosie also. :congrats:on your keepers.

Nice set of finds. Agree, cap gun also better than Rosies or Mercs, especially in the condition it's in.

Barbers are my favotites. Congratulations. :thumbsup01:

The cap gun is pretty cool. I have enough parts to start a cap gun repair shop, but have not found an intact cap gun yet.
