It has screw adjustable rear sight. I cannot find any markings what so ever!! Which makes me think it might be of Chinese manufacture. Anyway, any info would be much appreciated.   Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 12:57 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Any idea of it's age? _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

I am inclined to think it is older because of the machining and the materials it is made of. The grips and cover are plastic and the barrel and action are of pretty heavy steel.   Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 2:12 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York Although you cant figure out what the Model is...Have you done any shooting with it?! BTW Welcome To The Forum   Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 2:21 pm mtstcon New Member Joined: 11 Jul 2011 Posts: 4 Thank you for the welcome. I just picked the pistol up yesterday at a garage sale, so I cleaned it up a bit and shot a couple pellets through it out back. It functions just fine, I don't know about the accuracy or velocity yet though.   Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 3:08 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" It appears the entire lower segment of it which includes the grips is plastic- so it is likely no more than 30 years old (prior to that, plastic on airguns was minimal, and in the 50/60s they were generally still using Bakelite). Based on how solid it appears, I would think it is not Chinese, more likely one of the European manufacturers. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

How much where the previous owners selling it for?   Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 4:20 pm mtstcon New Member Joined: 11 Jul 2011 Posts: 4 AirGunEric wrote: It appears the entire lower segment of it which includes the grips is plastic- so it is likely no more than 30 years old (prior to that, plastic on airguns was minimal, and in the 50/60s they were generally still using Bakelite).

Eric I did some more internet searching and your approx. dates of manufacture makes sense, I guess the single stroke pneumatic pistols and rifles were introduced around the 70's or so. Jr. I purchased the pistol for $5, and he would not come down another cent!! Thank you all for your responses and info.
