Old Spanish Gun.

I did research on it, and found out a lot about it, but the year. I was wondering if any of you would possibly know, its the same exact model(MENDI muzzleloading 12MM PISTOL) as this one.

It is modern made, probably dating to the period of 1965 to 1975.

Va. is correct. I received the exact pistol as a Xmas gift about 1970. Don't remember what ever happened to it? :hatsoff:

I think Dixie Gun works sold that years back. IIRC they called it an "Overcoat pistol" I remember seeing the overcoat pistol in the catalog back around 1978.

ugly gun and an odd caliber

I like it!

12 mm thats like a .473 caliber, were do you find ammo for it?

 

[JamesDR]

I usually go to Bass Pro Shop for ammo.

Yep, It's a Dixie Overcoat Pistol. My first Dixie catalog was in '68 and they were $19.95. I think they were still listed into the '80s.
