While cleaning up old boxes that have been moved over five times in the last 40 years, I came across these beauties.
They are replica zinc cast firearms made by a Japanese company called MGC (which I think stood for Model Gun Corporation). These firearms were often used as props in movies and plays, and were sold at a local Alexandria VA militaria/replica dealer at the time. They were purchased in 1970 by me and were treasured because they looked, functioned, and felt real. I owned real rifles and shotguns at the time, but wasn’t yet old enough to own handguns. So these were a cheap alternative to owning some classic handguns.
What you see is a replica Colt Python w/ 4” barrel, Waffen SS stamped Walther P38, and a Mauser Werke stamped HSc.
The Python’s blueing is coming off, and the zinc alloy hammer spur disintegrated in my hand when pulled, but everything else works as intended. They all come with a set of brass cartridges and appropriately stamped magazines for the semi-autos.
I haven’t seen these pistol replicas in over 35 years - nice find in my own junk- LOL
