Other information: interesting and rare old toy from Lone Star, "From Circa 1949.Die Casting Machine Tools Ltd (D.C.M.T.) to the order of The Crescent Toy Co. Ltd. This gun was advertised by D.C.M.T. 1950. With its roll of parchmentised paper, it was claimed that it could 'fire' 600 shots before needing to reload. The gun operated without caps, but used a narrow strip of parchmentised paper in a roll loaded beneath the gun's muzzle, which, when perforated by squeezing the trigger bar, created a 'Bang!!' by air pressure and automatically fed the paper ribbon forward ready for the next 'Bang!!' The rolls of paper, also obtainable (then) as refills, could fire 600-shots per roll.  The gun was first advertised as a Crescent Toy in May 1949, probably die-cast under licence by DCMT.  In March 1950, DCMT advertised it in the journal "Games & Toys" as if they had acquired rights from The Crescent Toy Co. Ltd. to produce it as their own DCMT product." Source: ebay.
