A fantastic Old target game with great caricatures.
Original Gun which fires a cork in perfect working order.
The only issue is where the target stand has been put into the slots so many times, the corners are starting to fray a bit and make it difficult to slot the targets in the holes (This game I suspect will be more as display then playing) but the slots could be widened a bit if requited.
Great hard to find game.
