Elegant Homemade Toy Pistol with Sharp Metal Trigger

So many good old homemade toy guns out there, emblematic of a pre-video-game time when backyard play was alive and vivid.  The sharp metal trigger on this one may suggest it was made less for play than for the sake of a carving a gun, maybe one of a series by the maker, but I'm not entirely sure. Whatever the case, it's got a certain elegance about it for sure, with the combination of wood grain and black paint and diagonal line of the trigger adding up to quite a sharp looking pistol! C. mid 20th century I believe.

7 1/4" long measured on tghe square x 4 1/4" tall x 1 3/8" d. Excellent vintage condition.
