Unique Unidentified 19th Century European Stock Reservoir Muzzleloading Air Gun

"Wind guns" had several advantages over conventional firearms including that they were quieter, smokeless, quicker to reload, and relatively unaffected by rain. They also required less cleaning since they did not require corrosive black powder. This example has no maker markings visible but appears to be from the early 1800s. Features a round barrel that loads from the muzzle with the walnut ram rod, bead front sight, walnut front stock, lock with beveled edges and a large cocking lever, iron frame, and a metal buttstock air reservoir. Circular brass collection tag marked "R.D. BEEMAN/PRIVATE/COLLECTION/2288" hanging from the trigger guard.

Class: Other

Good, with scattered patches of dark colored light to mild pitting on the iron and a mix of brown and gray patina on the metal stock reservoir. The wood is also good with numerous scattered mild dents and scratches, a few chips, and a few discreet filled in repairs. Mechanically fine.

Provenance: The Dr. Robert D. Beeman Collection
