Description: THIS LISTING IS FOR A COMPLETE BOXED NICHOLS 1961 CIVIL WAR COMMERATIVE SET. THE SET WAS A TIE-IN TO THE SHORT LIVED 1961 NBC CIVIL WAR ERA TV SHOW "THE AMERICANS". THE SET INCLUDES THE NM ORIGINAL GUN AND BULLETS, AND SUPERB REPRO. BOX AND HOLSTER. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR CHOICE OF ONE HOLSTER, EITHER THE BLACK OR THE TAN HOLSTER. THE SHOW FEATURED BROTHERS FIGHTING ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE CIVIL WAR. THE BROTHERS WERE PORTRAYED BY ACTORS DARRYL HICKMAN AND RICHARD DAVALOS. THE SHOW ENDED AFTER ONLY ONE SEASON SO VERY FEW OF THE BOXED SETS MADE IT TO MARKET. I OBTAINED A RARE ORIGINAL BOX AND MADE THIS SUPERB REPRODUCTION. IT INCLUDES A BEAUTIFUL INSERT WITH PLASTIC BLISTER PACKS. THIS LISTING INCLUDES AN ALL-ORIGINAL NEAR MINT MODEL 61 CAPGUN WITH 6 ORIGINAL 3 PIECE BULLETS. THE CAP GUN IS IN PERFECT COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL CONDITION. PAINT IS 99% INTACT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO TOUCH UPS. THE HAMMER AND TRIGGER SPRINGS ARE STRONG AND IT FIRES CORRECTLY. NO RUST OR CORROSION ANYWHERE. NO REPAIRS OF ANY KIND. THE BARREL INDEXES PROPERLY WITH EACH PULL OF THE TRIGGER. THE LOADING GATE OPENS AND CLOSES SMOOTHLY AND STAYS CLOSED TIGHT WHEN THE GUN IS FIRED. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER FIRE THE GUN WITHOUT BULLETS IN THE CYLINDER AS YOU CAN DAMAGE THE FRAME. ORIGINAL GRIPS ARE ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO SCRATCES OR MARS. THE 3 PIECE "CAP ACTIVATED SHELL FIRING" BULLETS ARE ABSOLUTELY ALL ORIGINAL AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE CLOSE-UP PHOTOS. YOU CAN DISPLAY THE BULLETS IN THE BLISTER PACK IN THE BOX INSERT OR IN THE GUN CYLINDER. THE HOLSTER IS A BEAUTIFUL REPRODUCTION THAT I MAKE USING THE MODEL 61 HOLSTER AS A PATTERN. THE MATERIAL AND CRAFTSMANSHIP ARE PERFECTION. LEATHER IS 1/8" THICK QUALITY LEATHER. THIS HOLSTER HAS THE NICHOLS CROSSED SWORD GRAPHICS VERSION ON THE FLAP. THE GRAPHICS ARE STENCIL/AIRBRUSHED ON WITH PERMANENT AND FLEXIBLE ACRYLIC PAINT. THE HOLSTER BUCKLE IS HARVESTED FROM A VINTAGE CAP GUN HOLSTER AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BOX IS MY REPRO. IT IS COPIED FROM AN ORIGINAL AND IS VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL IN ALL ASPECTS. THE BOX TOP IS A SINGLE PROFESSIONALLY PRINTED SHEET GLUED ON CHIPBOARD AND WRAPPED AROUND THE CORNERS AND INTO THE INSIDE JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL. THE INSERT IS AN EXACT COPY OF THE ORIGINAL. I MADE THE PLASTIC BLISTER PACKS USING A THERMAL MOLDING PROCESS. THE BLISTER PACKS HOLD THE 3 PIECE BULLETS, AND AN ORIGINAL BOX OF NICHOLS CAPS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE LISTING. THE EXTRA RED PLASTIC TIPS SHOWN IN THE LONG BLISTER PACK ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE LISTING. I SHOW IN THE PHOTOS HOW THE BLISTER PACKS CAN BE FILLED FOR DISPLAY.
