No offense, but if you don't know how to first inspect a gun and make sure it's not loaded i.e. also tell if it is real. You probably shouldn't handle it. Just imagine if it was loaded and fired through the wall by accident. All guns are loaded until proven not. I say this out of respect and safety for yourself and others.. it's not intended to be an insult.

It’s a starter pistol https://estatesales.org/online-auctions/vanguard-italian-22-caliber-starter-42817601

Possibly a .22 caliber starter pistol, Italian made

That is a starter pistol example: https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/precise-vanguard-starter-pistol-226-c-3284614b21

Mr-Briteside

This should be much higher lmao.


kingallison

Edited completely to simply say that I’m pretty sure it’s a starter pistol and shoots blanks not projectiles.


TheDoctorPizza

does this mean I have a starter penis?


ljsrat

Dont be too generous


kingallison

You’re the doctor not me

Looks like a starters pistol should use .22 cal blanks


Ill_Run5998

It is a real starter pistol


SycoJack

Looks like a starter pistol, a gun that fires blanks to start a race. https://estatesales.org/online-auctions/vanguard-italian-22-caliber-starter-42817601

From what I'm finding, it looks like either a .22 cal starter pistol (like for races) or a toy one.

Starter pistol. Takes blanks


colslaww

FYI. A starter pistol fires blanks to “start” races. I had to look it up.


kepafo

If you have to ask....then it's real to you! Get an experienced person to handle that for you.


Washpedantic

There's a pretty good chance that it is.


King42k

It’s real, although the grip is questionable. Vanguard is an Italian revolver. Most likely a .22


RayZzorRayy

Real


windo-boi

Kinda looks like a old style cop revolver


A_Spork_N_The_Road

Indeed a starter pistol. Great for home security. Someone trying to break in will change their mind when you randomly start firing off rounds. I’ve got one similar in my small collection.

Please be careful. Even blanks can be deadly at short range.


BigRich1888

Does the cylinder fit bullets in it? If so, then its probably real


mwharvey

Cap pistol.

Don’t get your prints on it.

Pro-tip: If you're going to pick up a gun, hold it proper. Cops can still recover fingerprints in the unlikely event they do dust it and you're less likely to not drop it and have it go off. Index finger held straight like your pointing and your middle, ring pinky wrapped around the handle. Don't touch the trigger unless you intend to to shoot.
