Hornet air rifle 

With thanks to Trev, who said about this gun:

Another contemporary of the CRACAJAC was the Hornet. Made in Australia, this BB shooter was cocked by retracting a lever that lay parallel to the under-edge of the butt-stock when at rest. When pulled down and forward this lever retracted a rod attached to the gun's piston-until the trigger sear engaged with a notch. The Hornet did not sell well-maybe because the lever system was prone to pinch little hands.
