“BEDFORD’S EUREKA AIR PISTOL”. Cal. 22. NSN. Unusual black painted cast iron frame air pistol with 8-13/16” smoothbore nickeled rnd bbl, that has patent dates on the left side and has a tiny cone front sight with fixed rear sight. It functions by means of a plunger which, when depressed, cocks the pistol which is then loaded by means of a small rotating bolt on top of the frame which lines up with the bore. It is in its original green cardboard box with original wire shoulder stock, target cleaning rod and a ox of Quackenbush 177 felted slugs. Note the pistol shown on the box is an earlier style than the one in the box. This is correct as they used the old boxes first. CONDITION: Pistol and stock are very fine with the bbl retaining most of its bright original nickel and the stock about 90% of its original black paint with some chipping on the butt. Box has worn edges and broken corners with breaks in both sides and has old cellophane tape on all edges. It is lightly soiled. All legends are visible.
