	Very interesting. Is it a side break?

	It's what is called a St. Louis air gun. Mine is a smoothbore in .25 caliber. You cock it by pulling on the trigger guard, break the barrel for loading and fire away. I think the name came from the shooting galleries in St. Louis that rented them to patrons.

	If this rifle cocks via its trigger guard, it's what the Germans called a bugelspanner. If so and if it's still working, it's just powerful enough to serve as what it was meant to be: a gallery/parlor gun. Bill Lawrence
