Halco was a toy distributor that had guns made by other companies (Hubley and Leslie-Henry among them) and put their own brand on them. This model labeled "Marshal" was clearly made by the Nichols company, and, except for the long barrel and grips, looks very much like the Nichols Stallion .38 (coming soon). I'm not aware of any grips like this in the Nichols line, but I believe I've seen this four-leafed clover on a Leslie-Henry gun. Like the Stallion .38, this one did not break down to load caps. Round caps were placed inside the shell of two-piece metal bullets and loaded directly into the rotating cylinder.

Do you have the metal bullets so the caps will work? ~ Fleet Commander Johnson PWITCC rtrd
ReplyDeleteI do. And the caps, too, though they may be impotent after sitting around for more than fifty years.
ReplyDeleteAre they Greenie Stick'um Caps or something else?
ReplyDeleteNichols made round non-stick'ums that were placed inside the shell. The lead bullet, inserted into the shell, had holes in both ends, so smoke rolled out after each bullet was fired.
