Tingle gun parts

[F.G. Ford]

Tingle gun parts....Where can I find some?
I Googled it and found nothing except pictures, pictures and more pictures.
Any help will be much appreciated.
I have come across this old fellow, a little on the rough side.
Internals are good but the under rib is damaged, frame and barrel are badly rusted and pitted ( on the outside only )
Thank you for looking.
Be safe and have a great day!

Is that an original Tingle target pistol or the ASM - CVA reproduction of a Tingle?

If it is a Tingle, I suspect parts will be very hard to find. Tingle quit building in the early 1970s I believe. Your best bet on the frame and barrel are to clean it up and use as is or refinish the originals. I personally would lean toward cleaning and using if it doesn't effect the operation and accuracy of the pistol. Depending on size and shape, Track of the Wolf may have underrib material.

Ohh noo! It is not an original. It is a San Marco reproduction, made in Italy.
But it has a good inner barrel, and a great trigger!
I will clean it up as best I can, and make a sleeper competitive shooter.
That will be fun!

The CVA model is often referred to as a Prospector pistol because of the engraving of the prospector panning a stream on the right side.
They were also imported by EMF for many years, being offered in their catalog from at least
1975 - 1988.
It had slightly different names in different catalogs including "Custom Deluxe Target .44", Target Percussion .44", "Deluxe Single Shot Target .44", and "Standard Model Target Percussion .44"
In their 1975 catalog and perhaps before, EMF only offered a plain case hardened frame without engraving which preceded the Deluxe Engraved models to come.

Which model do you have, is it engraved and if visible, what's the date code?
