Carved Wooden Gun (Disarmed, but with Working Hammer) hand-carved wooden cat and I love everything aboutI am 100% for gun control, but this is the sort of gun I am in favor of! I'm guessing it once held a barrel, as there are little notches where one might fit, and likely there was a trigger below that, too but I rather like it as is, and I especially love it's hammer which pulls out nicely to place it in cocked position. Nicely crafted from end to end, including that little sight at the end of the barrel. 6" long x 3" tall x 1 2" thick.
