Toy maker's "real" guns

WAMO "HAMILTON DUELING PISTOL" - more info on this VERY ELUSIVE little peashooter from our nation's largest toy manufacturer!



This is simply a continuation of a thread from a few years ago about this confusing name connection.

I now have all three of WAMO's .22rf weapons, plus several nice paper ephemera about the different ones. For example the little 10-page pamphlet in the bottom corner of that photo shows BOTH of the company logos: WHAM-O and WAMO. For some reason I've never given much thought to the fact that each has a different city in California as their headquarters.

All three of their guns used exactly the same .22rf single-shot action.

Below are pics of their other two firearms.



POWERMASTER RIFLE



POWERMASTER PISTOL

Happy to have all of them board. However, now that I've found the "Holy Grail of WAMO," I'm ready to get rid of my firearms and simply concentrate on my .22rf box collection.

32 Magnum, are you referring to the Powermaster or the Hamilton? If you've got the Hamilton, does it have a serial number?

I also, notice you're into H&Rs. I'm still looking for an original rear sight for my H&R Handy Gun. Gun guides say the highest serial number on the .22rf is 225. The one I have is SN 226! Wonder how many more are out there?

32 Magnum, thanks for the tip. Will get on 'em after Turkey Day.

OARNGEST, sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about.

Thanks, Mike. I just could NOT jump that thought gap of Parker Brothers, GunBroker, and 12gauge . . .

JohnnyK, there are THREE pistols described: "Hamilton" value UNKNOWN; Powermaster pistol $200-$250, and H&R Handy Gun probably $1800 or more.

You'll probably never again see another photo containing THREE of these VERY RARE pistols from Wham-O/WAMO known as their "HAMILTON DUELING PISTOL."
