Andrew is a jeweler in Melbourne, Australia. He
also restores real guns and air guns......and collects Cap Guns (and ray guns).
Some really fantastic work. Very painstaking.

Here's a montage
of photos of one of Andrew's prize possessions: A Kilgore American in top-notch
shape. Be sure to click on the thumbnails to see his great close-up
photographic work.
(Quite
Literally!) A STACK OF AMERICANS!!!
How many of you can put together a photo
like this? I don't even have ONE!!! I own as many cockatoos as I own Kilgore
Americans! I used to own a Moluccan Cockatoo named, "Mambo," but man those were
the "Good Old Days" when I owned a pet store here in Huntsville for 20
years.

And here's
a terrific group of mint Mattel Fanners in different styles. Andrew says that
they wouldn't allow the Shootin' Shell Bullets in Australia because the
government thinks that they might just kill everybody with those toys bullets.
Well, that's not quite what he said, but it may as well have been.

While we're
at it, here's a nice box Andrew made with a slight floral design containing a
couple of DEAD MINT Fanner Shootin' Shell 45s. Really quite rare. They look
pretty real.

This looks
(to me) like a cross between a ray gun and a machine gun, but it really is a
Mustang Machine Gun. Wow! I have never seen one of these before. But I'm only
from Texas.
These are probably the shiniest photos of a Stevens 49-ER you are
EVER going to see. I don't know the year it came out, but the box is probably
older than I am. I wonder if our jeweler friend polished it up with some rouge
or something?
Here's a
nice little collection of some cast-iron Cap Guns for sure! They all look MINT
to me.
In Andrew's
own words..."The Stevens Jumbo already on here, but I thought I would show off
the very rare "Ives Big Injun" as both are 1890's." Can you say, "INJUN"
anymore? Well, I have never been a fan of political correctness, so on this
website you can get away (nearly) with murder. Besides, if I had been picking
my Cap Gun, I would have preferred one named, "INJUN" than one that was also
the name of an elephant.
This is a rather sensational
pair of Nichols Cap Guns. The famous Stallion 45 MK-II and the Mustang 500. The
Stallion is triple plated and the Mustang 500 is vacuum plated.
