Shooting Thru a Woman Gimmicks. Circa 1940s. A ribbon affixed to a sharp brass dart-like bullet is shot from a gun and through the body of a woman into a target behind her. Includes handwritten instructions, the gimmicked spring-loaded belt, two projectile pieces with ribbons attached, and a stick to load the belt with. Gimmick, resetting tools, and darts with handwritten instructions by the former owner, Reginald Paige. Appears somewhat different in design than the P&L version. Not functional.
