WTB: Pre-1920 model police firearms for museum

Hello,

I work for a museum in the US. We are doing a 1920 police station living history exhibit set to open May 31 which will require authentic model firearms to outfit the police station . Some examples of what we need include the following (ranked by need):

-Colt Police Positive revolver OR Smith & Wesson model 10

-Winchester M1897 riot shotgun OR similar period pump action

-Winchester M1894 repeater

-Springfield M1903 bolt-action OR similar WW1 era US military rifle

Any help in locating such props is appreciated.

Thank you,

Clay

Hello Clay, welcome to the forum.

There's a good chance that our members here will be able to provide some if not all of your modelguns.

Modelguns, especially museum quality examples like CAW's Springfield 1903 will be perfect for your display (photos of the Springfield modelgun here http://caw.co.jp/caw/m1903/m1903a3.html

It would be really interesting to see photos of your display once it's completed, perhaps you could post some for us to share please

Good Luck,

Clay,

Hi,
Did anybody extend any help on this?

Here's the sort of thing you want. A nice Webley Bulldog pistol made by Denix in the 70's. Mine has long gone I'm afraid.
