I had a rather large assortment of cap pistols during my younger days in the 50's, Several were Hubleys, Mattel's Fanner 50's also. One of my last was a 1860 Colt made by Hubley that you could lower the loading lever and spin the barrel out of alignment to remove the cylinder for loading. The cylinder accepted 6 two part cartridges, the cap was placed between the cartridge pieces.
I think I made it to school armed more than once also.

I still have most of this colection in the attic some where.
