Hi Paul,

Looks a bit like an Acvoke.

Definitely an Acvoke - the rear-sight shape, the distinctive muzzle and the round-bar trigger guard are unmistakable. But where the name "Travis Dart Gun" comes from I have no idea.

Yes, I have confirmed this is correct. I doubt its was ever really called the 'Travis Dart Gun' Malcolm McDowell's character pictured holding it in Lindsay Anderson's film 'If' was called Travis. That's probably the connection.

Now to find one!
