Little rifle ID

[ewmail15]

Can anyone ID this toy rifle?

Maybe more pictures and something for scale?

A drill rifle perhaps. I have seen wooden drill rifles before, more common in bygone days.

more photos from different angles would help.

I have seen these before. Folks would take a full stock of lets say a Springfield and then carve out the small (kids) musket. The big bulge you see is where the original width of the overall stock where the lock-plate went and then they carved it down from there. More photos would be great as I love to see these and its been a few years since Ive seen one.

Here are extras. It's a heavy little piece of metal. I used available ruler #3, with #2 being a Heath or Slot bar, and ruler #1 in perpetuity being the jumbo Reese's cups with pieces.

It looks like a tourist grade trinket to me from the 1930-1950 era.

Probably a souvenir, not a letter opener. Maybe a paperweight, since there are no markings present.

Maybe sold at one of the CW battlefield souvenir shops?

Agree some type of souvenir trinket maybe sold at a battlefield souvenir shop

Wow size comparison helps! Very interesting piece

I just looked again at the pics. The sleek lines around the lockplate area led me to believe that maybe this is a Jenks or a low profile rifle like that.

The photos show me that its a lot smaller than the one photo you posted and its not and carved musket stock child's gun. It a lot smaller and metal, I have to agree with the post above gift shop item.

I might get a better idea of the size if you would use a Three Musketeers for comparison.
