Dinzel Breech Loading Underlever Tip-Up Trigger Guard Lever Cocking Air Gun, made circa 1860s-70s in St. Louis, Missouri. Air guns represent the oldest pneumatic technology. The oldest existing mechanical air gun dates back to about 1580 and is in the Livrustkammaren Museum in Stockholm. This is approximately what most historians recognize as the beginning of the modern air gun. Throughout 17th to 19th century, air guns in .30 to .51 calibers were used to hunt big game, deer, and wild boar. These air rifles were charged using a pump to fill an air reservoir and gave velocities from 650 to 1,000 ft/s. They were also used in warfare, the most recognized example being the Girandoni air rifle. The overall condition is very good. Original finish and patina. Mechanically excellent. The bore is smooth and bright. The stock shows use and remains solid, including the long split along the grain near the comb on the right side. There is a slight wobble between the barrel and the reservoir. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 20-5/8 inches.
