In 1961 Nichols Industries commemorated the
American Civil War by introducing the Stallion Model 61, which was a replica of
the side arm used by both the North and the South. The "61" for 1861. This was
a cap-activated pellet firing 6 shooter.
This Cap Gun has turned out to be one of
the most valuable Nichols Cap Guns that there is. Especially the unusual
varieties that AREN'T chrome or blue. Nichols made some for Daisy that are very
valuable. But again, just finding those pesky 3-piece bullets is going to be an
adventure in itself. My cousin probably has a barrel of them!
After you see
the Stallion Model 61, remember that there are quite a few other
Stallions on this website, but the Stallion 300
Saddle Gun is listed under "Rifles."

Here is a beautiful example of a blued Model
61—still "Mint In The Box." This photo shows the 3-piece bullets. These
bullets, of themselves, are actually a collector's item, as they were used in
several models of cap guns. Thank you to
Rich Hall for this nice
photo. |

This is the chrome version of the same cap
pistol. There seem to have been fewer of these produced than the blued model,
although Stallion Model 61's are NOT plentiful in any style!

You're not
going to see a much prettier example of the "61" than this one.
This is also
a good representation of the 3-piece bullets that it would fire.
Thanks to Gene
Stramel for the photograph!

The standard Stallion Model 61 Cap Gun, blued that is, is the
one that you see the most often. However, it still isn't cheap and this example
is just about perfect! |

If you see the
standard "hand" on a pop-up graphic of a Cap Gun, then if you click on it, that
pop-up window will close. A little more convenient. |

Wonderful Photos of one of the most rare and elusive of all of
the Nichols series!!! For the serious collector this would be considered a
"must have" if only you could find one. However, these guns and this particular
set are so rare that it just doesn't help you to want one. Harold Utley
mentioned that someone had seen them advertised in an old Alden catalog, but
friends of mine and my family have never even seen them, but don't doubt their
authenticity. These babies ARE FOR REAL!
Thanks to Jim Manning for these special
photos!

What more can I
say? Thanks to Jim Manning for this photo!
|
| This particular pistol has become very popular due to its
scarcity. It comes in both a blued version and a standard chrome one (and of
course the famous gold dueling set, oh be still my heart!). It was also made
for the Daisy BB Gun Company and those are also prized possessions. Later Kusan
made a smaller version of this gun as well. |
