Hey look what I snared...

Always wanted to play with one for an extended time. Hawes, made in Germany in the late 50’s-early 60’s. When all the cowboy and westerns were the rage in that glorious post-war period, a cheap to shoot full size Colt copy. Frame mounted firing pin (.22 RF caliber) and a type of transfer bar system. This was cheap and looked fun. A friend is bringing it to me Friday!
