Kilgore made not only die-cast Cap Guns, but LOTS
of cast-iron Cap Guns. Well, Kilgore was such a prolific company, and so many
of you have sent in more photos and text of various Kilgore Cap Guns and
products, that we have a lot of pages. Keep sending them in!

Here is a common
1950-1955 version of the Kilgore Ranger Cap Gun. It is a die-cast repeater. The
chrome looks slightly yellowish, so it is hard to tell if this is a gold
version or a chrome version, as there were both. Click on photo to see a nice
gold one.
Thanks
to Lewis Ellman for this contribution.
Well, this one is definitely
GOLD! And it is mint on the card! And...it settles once and for all the
question of whether or not the cowboy's hat was painted. It was painted at the
factory. When I first started seeing these, it looked like some of the artwork
I did when I was a kid, but it is genuine.
Thanks to Chuck Quinn.

This is the
more common variety of the gun below, although in more pristine condition. This
is one of the very early versions of the Ranger. Very nice!
Many thanks

The two
above photos pretty much tell the story of the Kilgore cast-iron Ranger. Please
notice that this box is much simpler than the die-cast Kilgore Ranger that had
the scrollwork on the barrel with (what looks like) Hoppy on the grip. Of
course it isn't Hoppy or they would have had to pay royalties.

Kilgore Ranger -
IN GOLD
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Here's some bona fide gold from
Chuck. This Ranger is rare enough as it is and is certainly in wonderful mint
shape as it is and the box is great as it is, but it is in GOLD! I guess he
bought it as a hedge against inflation.
Thanks to Chuck Quinn for these
photos! |

I decided
to include this box's back just to confuse you. You might notice that it says
that it's made in Canada. But the Cap Gun says that it's made in the U.S.A. Go
figure. Also...here's a funny thing. It says, "Do not take pistol apart. You
will be unable to reassemble." Apparently they have never met Ed Manes!!! Ed
could probably take the Rock of Gibraltar apart and reassemble it so the
British would never suspect. Click on the box and you will see a bigger
photo. |

A MINT version of this old Kilgore Cap Gun
showing the fancy grip.

Different gun, same model, from Ken
Mittelsteadt.
Thie is a die-cast revolving cylinder gun. A little unusual
for Kilgore—especially the grips. It is pretty easy to read "EAGLE" on the
side of the Cap Gun's frame. |

Here is the Kilgore Eagle,
but in a Fast Draw set. The rear part of the holster pocket is scalloped away
so that the gun comes out very easily. This one is DEAD MINT.

This is a
really nice MINT Kilgore Eagle in Gold. You don't see these every day. It's not
a very big gun, but its price is pretty big.

It's not even
possible to get a better Kilgore Eagle than this Cap Gun. It is perfect in
every way. It's right "out of the box." Flawless! Simply breath-taking,
considering how old it is.
Many thanks to Doug Hamilton!!! |

Kilgore Billy
The Kid

Now folks, this is a rare Cap
Gun. I didn't say an expensive Cap Gun, but it is a rare Cap Gun. Why? I don't
know, but you seldom see it. Stevens has a Billy the Kid Cap gun, but as you
can see from the Circle "K" logo. It used disc caps. Notice that this Cap Gun
is almost a twin of the Kilgore Eagle.
Thanks to Doug
Hamilton for these photos! |

Here is a Kilgore
Warrior from around 1926. Though it is a cast-iron Cap Gun, it is actually a
repeater and has a nickel finish. It has an unusual Maltese Cross medallion
above the grip. This is from our friend Chuck Quinn's
collection.
This is a
really old cast-iron Cap Gun from around 1940.
