Catalog Page: 123
Class: Antique
Description:

Manufactured from 1907 to 1922. Patented by Paul H. Quackenbush in order to compete with what were at the time, cheaply made "tin plate" BB guns that were on the American market at the time. Fitted with a blade front and fixed notch rear sights, round trigger guard, and board style stock. The action is cycled by pushing the barrel rearward into the receiver, which opens the breech and tenses the spring, a projectile is loaded, and the breech then closed.

Rating Definition:

Fair with a mostly smooth gray patina, traces of aged blue finish turned to brown, handling marks, small dings and some light pitting. The wood is very good with handling marks. Mechanically very good.
