The viking is on the bottom of the butt. You can see the viking eyes on the left they are 2 ovals. Above that is a helmet with horns which is just visible on the picture. His nose is just to the left of the screw. There is no pirate on it hence why I thought my friend was wrong.Tilt your head left and you should see the viking haha.

Why not go ask the guy !!

It was the last car boot of the season he will have driven off and could be anywhere by now aha. I will have to look again next year for him. Also he just deals the stuff he gets them from houses where they havent paid their debts.

As i was walking away from the guy I heard him say to his wife that he sold the funnel seperately earlier. Any idea why it would have a funnel? My friend said it may be a pirate toy but looking at the pictures in the metal I would think differently as it has a hunting dog by the hammer, deer on the other side and squirrels on which is more hunting than pirate themed. Also why would it have a viking head if it is pirates?

What is the size ??  Is anything written or stamped on top of the barrel ??  Is it a cap gun ??

From front of barrel to back of butt it is about 36cm. There is nothing stamped on the barrel exept some decorative pattern. I do not think it is a cap gun as i cannot see anywhere to put caps.

I found out my telescope is fake. How much would you say it is worth and how old is it really? Thanks in advance.

I have this flintlock pistol toy which I got from a house clearance. I was surprised at the level of detail in it so purchased it. It is made from metal with plastic. It had cobwebs on it so must be old. It has deer on the sides of the barrel, a viking head on the butt and a squirrel on the sides of the butt. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
