Hartland produced quite a variety of small pistols,
many of which were lost in the grass or swept up in the vacuum
over the years. While the silver weapons seemed fairly consistent
over the years, the brown group of pistols and accessories varied
a lot from burnt orange to almost maroon or wine colored. |

You can see quite a color range just within this group of Jeffords
style Winchesters. |

Cochise Rifles seem to have the biggest variation of orange to
brown colors, though the same can be said about the longrifles. |

The “brown” pistols range from a milky brown to deep
maroon, almost black. |
 |

The yellow accessories also have a range from pale yellow to
a deeper golden yellow. Most Thunderbird bows are displayed with
the bow hung across the figure’s body. With the constant
pressure from the rubber band, they do seem to show up in quite
a variety of shapes. |

Many of the accessories were made over a period
of six to eight years. Knowing that, it is easy to figure there
would have been slight color changes as they mixed colors from
year to year. |
