Markham - The Chicago Air Rifle Variant.

This one seems to have a different inscription, with the stamped "Markham Air Rifle Co Plymouth Mich[igan] 'Chicago' Patented" inside an oval outline instead of the plain two-line stamp on the other rifles show above.

With thanks to Eberhard for these pics.
