19th Century Brass Reservoir Tip-Up Barrel Underlever Gallery Air Gun

No maker markings visible, although this example was likely American made. Air guns of this style were used primarily for indoor gallery target shooting. This air gun has a tip-up octagon barrel that releases with a bottom latch and loads from the breech. It has a trigger guard that can be pulled downwards, serving as the cocking lever in order to fill the cylinder air reservoir, and upon pulling the trigger the spring loaded piston releases. Chambered in approximately .28 caliber/7 mm with a smooth bore. Circular brass collection tag marked "R.D. BEEMAN/PRIVATE/COLLECTION/747" hanging from the trigger guard lever. Similar examples are photographed and described on page 99 of "Blue Book of Airguns, Thirteenth Edition."

Class: Other

Very good, with the barrel refinished, scattered light to mild pitting visible underneath the finish and on the other iron surfaces, and bright and aged golden patina on the brass. Stock is fine with some light scratches and dents, a chip at the toe, and defined edges. Mechanically fine.

Provenance: The Dr. Robert D. Beeman Collection
