Excellent AP Air Pistol

He says:

.173 (4.4mm) steel balls cal., UL, concentric SP, 10 shot mag. repeater, smoothbore barrel, zinc metal die-cast frame, marked "Phantom Repeater 4.4 Excellent Geväret AB Stockholm", adj. trigger, checkered plastic grips, no safety, 7.1 in. OAL, 1.5 lbs. Approx. 4,800 mfg. 1953-1959.
Design flaw resulted in very low survival rate.
