Air guns of this style were used primarily for indoor target shooting. This exact air gun is photographed and described on page 100 of "Blue Book of Airguns, Thirteenth Edition". This gallery air gun has a tip-up octagon barrel that loads from the breech, and it functions through the use of a top lever for cocking in order to fill the cylinder reservoir, and upon pulling the trigger the spring loaded piston releases. Chambered in approximately .30 caliber/7.5 mm with a smooth bore. Circular brass collection tag marked "R.D. BEEMAN/PRIVATE/COLLECTION/2287" hanging from the trigger guard. Retains spring pressure but does not properly remain cocked. Provenance: The Dr. Robert D. Beeman Collection
