Parris Manufacturing Children's Toy Carded Camo Pump Shotgun

Parris Manufacturing

At the start of World War II, Parris Manufacturing Company® - already an expert in woodworking - was asked by the Department of Defense to make dummy training rifles for new recruits until real ones could be made available. They made more than 2 million of these training rifles and earned the coveted Army-Navy "E" Award for its contribution to the war effort.

After the war was over, the company switched its production lines over to manufacturing toy rifles and pistols. Parris Manufacturing Company® officials did not want to manufacture only military toy guns, so they quickly added frontier and cowboy style rifles, pistols and pistol holster sets. Every replica in the company’s line is based on a rifle, musket or pistol that played an important part in our country’s history - including the Civil War and the American Revolution.

Parris continues to expand its quality made toy product line. Products include a full line of toy bow and arrow sets, our new camouflage bow & arrow sets.
