WWII bring back. Pretty sure it is not highly collectable, but wonder just what it is. Toy? Holster makers dummy? I have seen similar, but with the orange plug, so much, much more recent. The 'D' shown behind the trigger guard is the only marking

Don't want to date myself. But I remember the ads in the back of what we called Funny Books. These FB's were sold very inexpensively, in the local stores.
As R-S's ad shows, these were replica toys. Had myself a solid aluminum, non-moving parts Colt SAA. This was circa late '50's/early '60's.
Also, a friends dad worked in MGM studios, and he said these and similar were used as mock-up firearms for the movie industry. Cheap way to arm an army of "extras" on the set while the "stars" were more issued more realistic blank-shooting arms.
Just my spin.

My father brought back a slightly more useful and much louder PP.
