found this little pistol at old house site. It was heavely covered with rust, so much that the butt was all I could make out. I cooked it with electrolysis and I was able to get it this good. It looks like it is a cap and ball pistol but I'm sure it is a toy. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

Why do you think its a toy ? Is it really light in weight or does it have some iron weight to it ? Just wondering. I found a gun about 22-23 years ago, when I first saw it in the ground I thought it was a toy. It was rusty and corroded and very dirty, but it had some weight to it. Long story short it ended up being a Smith and Wesson revolver from 1851, nickle plated with a rosewood handle. I still have it to this day, maybe I'll post a picture or two of it, thanks for helping bring that back to mind.
