Benjamin model 100 air pistol (late 1930s)
With thanks to WestleyR on the American Vintage Airguns forum. He says: "While the folding under lever type pump handles are a much better design, there is just something neat and quirky about a tire pump style action. As a fairly well made gun with good feel and balance, I would question the finish type. Black nickel has a nice look, but doesn't seem to hold up well on something with a good deal of handling. Daisy used this same type of black nickel finish on some early BB rifles which also did not generally hold up well over time. Enclosed is a circa late 1930s model 100 gun, box, and original paperwork."
