Air guns of this style were used primarily for indoor target shooting. This gallery air gun is unmarked but likely New York made, and has a sliding octagon barrel chambered in approximately .30 caliber/7.5 mm with a smooth bore. It functions through the use of hand crank (not included) that is inserted in the right side for cocking in order to fill the cylinder reservoir, and upon pulling the trigger the spring loaded piston releases. Mechanically untested. Provenance: The Dr. Robert D. Beeman Collection
