    Description

    This is a RARE vintage Leslie-Henry cap gun.
    This is the model
    Texas Longhorn
    .
    The gun functions as it did when new. When you pull the trigger, it “fires” - that is the hammer retracts and then falls where the cap should be. The cap roll holder retracts when the release knob is pressed, and it locks back (unlike many of these guns).
    I left the age marks (green spots on the bronze handles) as they are. I also did not polish the body. I believe that a buyer can chose to keep it as is or decide to use a mild polish and make it bright and shiny.
    The flash makes the body look somewhat brighter than it is. For that reason, I took some photos taken without a flash.
    All in all, this gun is in excellent condition. I guess that it is from the 1950’s, about 70 years old.
    There is a circular indentation on the inscription of one handle. I assume that it was made by the factory.
    Thank you.
    This replica gun contains the colored markings required by law, including a permanently attached orange plug.
