Title
Modern pipe tamper
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy water pistol toy of later 19th or early 20th century date.

The object takes the form of a revolver or 'six-shooter' handgun, missing the sqeezable balloon handle. The attachment for the handle is a projecting disc that would have fitted into a socket. The gun is not an exact replica in miniature, however, as there is no trigger or trigger guard, hammer or sight at the end of the barrel. The end of the barrel of worn and slightly rounded and appears solid.

Flashmarks are visible along the upper and lower faces around the perimeter of the object.
