He bought his first miniatures while traveling in Europe back in 1972. First acquiring a small Pulka knife in Finland , and then a Xythos.Automatic mini pifnire revolver in Austria . He collected intermittently for a number of years there after adding many more including Little Atom sets from Japan and Berloque Flare Pistols from Maus Germany as well as a wide array of other tiny treasures. The interesting thing about miniature cap guns is that though they are the tiniest things they bark almost as loud as a 22 rimfire rifle. About me: I'm still in school and am trying eBay because I can only work part time while still being able to concentrate on school. Two summers ago I worked full time in a coffee shop and I last summer I tried a home and pet sitting business. Since I am still learning about eBay I may miss something that is important to you so please feel free to ask questions. The money I get for this listing in intended to go toward my continuing education. I have registered for a CAP course with Landmark Education in San Francisco in mid January. I need to raise $1K to $2K to cover tuition, travel, and food and lodging expenses. So I want to thank you in advance for your generous bid, and best wishes for you in the New Year. Thank you for the many questions and my apology for all the confusion. From the questions I gather the description is not as clear as I had hoped. NO, the items in the last photo are NOT included. The last photo showing many miniatures is not included in this auction. It is of a portion of my Dad’s collection that time permitting I am planning on listing soon. The last photo was posted accidently and now eBay will not let me remove the image. To avoid this mistake happening again please send me your email address if you want additional photos. Sorry for any disappointment as I want 100% satisfaction and will cancel the listing and/or promptly give refund if the Buyer is not satisfied. Again sorry for the error, & Happy New Year. a read more
