Mon, 17 Jun 2019 04:18:14 +0000 http://isegoria.net/isegoria/?p=2908#comment-2841513 I’m fascinated with this gun. One thing you didn’t mention was Beeman most probably has the original that Lewis and Clark carried with them. He gave it to the U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE.

I have a copy of the book

Baker, Geoffrey and Colin Currie, 2002. “The Construction and Operation of the Air Gun. Vol. 1. The Austrian Army Repeating Air Rifle.” 64 pp

It was pricey for a few pages. It took me a long time to finally get it. I also have “Vol. 2 The Walking Stick Air Gun”.

Just for kicks I looked on Amazon. They don’t even have a copy. Might be time to sell these to someone who has ample cash.
