Murphy Tru-blu Nichols Stallion 45 Cap Gun With Wooden Notch-it Grips

  

THIS LISTING IS FOR A BEAUTIFUL MURPHY CO. TRU-BLU NOTCH-IT NICHOLS STALLION 45 CAP GUN IN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST OR CORROSION ANYWHERE ON THE GUN.

IN THE LATE 50'S THESE GUNS WERE SPECIALLY PREPARED BY THE W. THE GUN IS IN VERY GOOD MECHANICAL AND COSMETIC CONDITION.

THE SPRINGS ARE STRONG AND THE GUN FIRES CORRECTLY. THE CYLINDER INDEXES CORRECTLY WITH EACH PULL OF THE TRIGGER. I CAREFULLY TEST DRY-FIRED THE GUN WITH BULLETS IN THE CHAMBERS TO AVOID ANY DAMAGE TO THE FRAME. THE BULLET LOADING GATE OPENS SMOOTHLY AND STAYS CLOSED TIGHT.

THE BULLET EJECTOR ROD SLIDES SMOOTHLY AND THE SPRING IS STRONG. THERE IS SOME MINOR OVERALL PAINT LOSS, BUT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR A GUN THIS AGE, AND BETTER THAN MOST OTHERS I HAVE SEEN.

TH E LOADING GATE WAS MISSING SOME PAINT, SO I AIR BRUSH RE-PAINTED IT WITH EXACT MATCHING ENAMEL PAINT AFTER FIRST PRIMING WITH A QUALITY SELF-ETCHING PRIMER. THE MURPHY WOODEN NOTCH-IT GRIPS ARE EXCELLENT.

FORTUNATELY SOME LITTLE BUCKAROO DIDN'T NOTCH'EM. I WILL INCLUDE IN THE LISTING A COPY OF A W. MURPHY ADVERTISEMENT FROM 1958, AS SHOWN IN THE LAST PHOTO.
