Rifles
« on: October 11, 2009, 03:37:00 »
I was talking about the tips of the traditional model of rifles (before the winchester model, for western sets), and I found out that the short tips weren't Troll's invention: I found them in Playmobil.de Archiv :P

The first picture with a long rifle tip I found is in a set from 1986. (Love it, by the way: one of my 5 favourites! ... Once someone lauched a survey.)

Sets are attached below.

(So, the only Troll invention appears to be the trigger in the rifle of that model: yes, Troll rifles had triggers ;D 8} )

----
Ps. "Scholfields" were grey, knives were black; nowadays, the guns are black, and the knives grey ... :P

A HISTORY OF RIFLE,
& OTHER BITS

So, I opened this thread because I began to collect a few images, searching for the short rifle, and when it changed, so I'll show all the pictures that I gathered here, and speak a little about them.

These below (attached) are:

#1, the bayonet in the old kind of rifle (with the short tip), & in the times when silver bits were still most of them shining (now, a few of them are dull, which is good, to me, because that shining looks is a painting, and it leaves, in time, while the dull silver and gold is the plastic colour, and it isn't lost with time);

& #2, the arabian rifle, which was never produced (that I know) in dull silver, or gold, and that could, once it's a very nice accessory, and it might go well with many sets, specially now that we have pyramids, around! :yup: ...

Both sets date back, in the Archiv, from 1980.

Gustavo, very interesting info and I have been following . Once I get some new batteries in our camera I will be able to take some pics of the gold Arabian rifles that I have . Actually gold is the only color that i have . I do agree it would be nice to see this one make its rounds again.

I would like to see the "Troll" rifle with the trigger as I do not remember if I have ever seen one

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

in 1995 there was a brief come-back of the bedouin family.  :yup:
a "special" was released: the 4521 araber (i am not going to comment on playmobil's choice of words to describe non-german realities).
i don't have this set but in its picture on playmobil.de the "arab" seems to be holding a golden rifle.  :hmm:
could this be the one you are looking for gustavo?  ???

I had completely forgotten this Arab but, indeed, the rifle has been given a new edition, however very short ... Indeed, this is a beautiful Special! :yup:

(Now that you mentioned, Ras, I noticed that the sheriff attached above has a rifle without the extra handle. This is a variation that I never had noticed. (The cavalry rifle, a little below, is the closest we had, made by Troll: short tip, with the second handle.) The arabian shiny silver rifle that I had also had the second handle.)
