The
Nichols 45 Automatic Cap Gun is one of
those toy pistols that Uncle Talley
(almost) swore that he would never make.
He preferred toy guns to be those of the
old west—at least the nineteenth
century. However, towards the end more
modern "firearms" were made.

WE HAVE LOTS OF BRANDS OF CAP GUNS BESIDES
JUST NICHOLS ON THIS WEBSITE. |
PLEASE HELP! There won't be any "Art Trade Fair
Shows" this year because of the COVID-19 virus, so I won't be able to sell my
glass ornaments at those shows. And money is tight for the USA (Pray for our
leaders and Jesus said "Pray for those who would spitefully use you."...so with
money tight it's just a hope that we can receive contributions.
Believe me, even small contributions help! This is the only
site where you are likely to find most of the Cap Guns ever made. The site will
always be free to use, but it's not free for me.
YOU CAN CLICK BELOW TO HELP OUT! (Contritubutions start at
only $10, but you can make it more if you can afford it.) (And we
absolute refuse to put you on a
mailing list or sell your e-mail address.)
Thank you "History Buffs &
Collectors"Mike Nichols, Texas |
A compact,
more serious (less Western) pistol.
Thanks! to Robert Nichols for this photo.
This is
basically a Colt M1911A that is small enough for
the little kids that were likely to want a cap
pistol. Nothing fancy, just basic "personal
self-defense." The price is usually low when
bidding ends on the internet auctions.
Here's the
same gun, but this version was made during the
Kusan years after Uncle Talley left the
company. You can see how it is inferior to the
one above, as were most of the Kusan versions
of Nichols Cap Guns, though it does have some
nice scrollwork. Pity. It's hard to imagine
taking really nice Cap Guns and then "dumbing
them down" to save a buck. No wonder they
haven't held their values like the "purely
Nichols" versions. Of course, I am QUITE
prejudiced!!!
As is typical of many of the Kusan versions,
you will note that it doesn't have the
standard Circle "N" on the grip, nor does it
say "Nichols" anywhere on it. At least not on
this side, for I have never taken it off of
the card. I photo-edited the orange price
sticker off of this photo, which said 77
cents. As you can imagine, I paid more than
that for it at auction.
Thanks to me for this photo. Hey, I have to
get involved too!
