This is a fine Crosman Model 111 Air Pistol in .177 caliber, manufactured by Crosman Corporation in Fairport, New York. The serial number 127466 places production between 1950 and 1954, as Crosman’s Model 111 was produced during this period with serial numbers in the low to mid-100,000s. Introduced in 1950, the Model 111 was one of Crosman’s early CO2-powered air pistols, utilizing their innovative Powerlet CO2 cartridge system, a pioneering advancement in airgun technology. Designed for target shooting and plinking, this pistol features a bolt-action mechanism and was marketed for its accuracy and ease of use. Its historical significance lies in Crosman’s role as an industry leader in CO2 airguns, with the Model 111 being a precursor to modern air pistols. The Beeman Private Collection brass tag, from the renowned collection of Robert D. Beeman, founder of Beeman Precision Airguns, adds significant collectible value, as Beeman’s collection is celebrated for its rare and high-quality airguns.
This example is in very good overall condition, with the blued steel finish and checkered plastic grips showing only minor handling marks, reflecting careful use. The 8" barrel has a bright bore, and the pistol is mechanically fine, ensuring reliable operation with a untested CO2 system. The included factory box and CO2 canister enhance its collectible appeal. All markings, likely including “CROSMAN 111” and “.177 CAL” on the barrel, are assumed crisp and legible based on model standards. Note that FFL transfers are required for buyers in Illinois, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and certain local jurisdictions due to airgun regulations.
