I think sometime in the 1950's my father ordered some of these solid aluminum handguns through magazine advertisements. He liked to hang these pistols on the wall. He had a Colt 1911, Mauser 1896, Luger and P-38. Years later I found the P-38 which had the grips painted and the Mauser 96 also painted silver. These pistols were manufactured by Lytle Novelty Co from the 1930's to the early 1950's. They were used as movie prop guns and later sold as kids toys through magazine adds. They are not quite full size, but very close, i used a 1913 Mauser in one of my photos for comparison.Information
