The Cowpuncher is one of those "latter year toy Cap Guns" that catered to the "dwindling age" of those little tykes who still played with cap pistols and chose sides as "Cowboys and Indians." A small gun, yet powerful enough for the little guys and gals.

My guess is that this Cowpuncher came out before the one right below.
Also from Jamie Linford.

Another excellent offering from Jamie Linford. I wish I HAD a collection as good as his! Oh well, we Nichols' must have been too close to the forest (for the most part).

Why is it that some people have all of the guns? Here is a wonderful example of a Cowpuncher with red grips. Very nice finish!

Thank you Jamie Linford.


The Cowpuncher is a small gun, measuring about 8" x 3-1/2".
As you can see, it also came in white and black grips. (and RED!)


Okay, let's go for another color! Here is a dark one!!!

Thanks to our friend, George Phillips, for this photo.



And here's one with blue grips from Steve Arlin!
Sometimes I look at these "basic" guns and think that the circle had come all of the way around. Nichols Industries started out with small guns, went to the big guns and then scaled back down to the smaller guns again.


Here's an offering from Nichols with a little holster. And what in the world is that fine print on the lower left of the card?

Photo thanks to Chuck Quinn
