Interesting letter to the editor of Guns magazine circa 1960
These antique spur trigger revolvers are quite collectable today and this .32 rimfire Hopkins & Allen "Dictator" pocket revolver in top notch condition would sell for $750+ Canadian funds here in Canada 2023.

The beginnings of Sig-Air: Sig Sauer's Airgun Division
Here in Canada, this product didn't initially get approved entry into Canada by the Canada Customs Office because the very first two true Sig Sauer ASP Air pistols were rated for muzzle velocity of 500 fps and more.
My pistol was purchased in the USA within a couple months of the American release of the P250 and P226 CO2 Pellet Pistols.
Around two years later I saw the all black P250 for sale from "replicaairguns dot ca" but not this Olive drab green two tone model. The muzzle velocity rating had also been changed to "435 fps".
Not long after that and Sig discontinued the P250 and introduced the P320 and later the M17 US Army version and new higher capacity magazines.
"Wizard Repeating Liquid Pistol"
Oh my, it's a nickel plated, gun metal squirt gun😀👍
The squirt gun that is loved by every child may have evolved into a toy, from a self defense weapon that offered non-lethal protection against "vicious dog(or man) just as stated in the Ad.
I suspect that liquids such as ammonia or hot pepper juice was the recommended ammunition.
Umarex Air Javelin co2 Powered Arrow Gun...simply awesome!!!

Out of control Gun control!!!
In recent years Australia has outlawed every type of "airgun", including Gel Blasters, which are essentially water guns.
Advertising such as this leaves me speechless.
Canada, where I am located has a federal government currently that is set on disarming the law abiding gun owners and eliminating gun culture completely.
