I think my first notable toy gun was the "Fanner 50." I also had the nice leather holster for it. Not long thereafter, I added a "Shootin' Shell" model to my "collection,: and it was a somewhat down-scaled SAA look-alike. The Shootin'Shell .45 was 9" https://www.nicholscapguns.com/mattel.htm

Lugers? Jeez, musta been those ads on the backs of comics. Their shape is somehow compelling to me, and I've picked up a handful of examples beginning some 50+ years later.
