Old CO2 pistols

[mrpackwolf]

I came across these two CO2 pistols recently and thought I would see if anyone has any idea about when they could have been made. The one that looks like a stag handle revolver says P.Y. HAHN MFG. CO. INC. Fairport New York. On the other side you can see it says Hahn "45" BB single action revolver. The other gun says Crossman "150" 22cal PELLGUN Crossman Arms Co. Fairport New York, USA. By the way, the 22cal still works and shoots well. The other gun unfortunately is missing some parts that would hold the CO2 in place. Any information is appreciated.

Hahn .45

I bought one of those guns new in 1965. I was 15. It was a good shooter, and a lot of fun for plinking at tin cans. It used a rubber "O" ring to seal the Co2 cartridge, but the O ring would only last through 3 or 4 cartridges. I finally found a good supply of the O rings at a plumbing supply store.
I bought one a few years back at either Gunbroker or Auction Arms, but I have yet to get it to shoot.

I had a Hahn like the one pictured. Great fun. I wish that I could remember what happened to it.....until I saw your picture, it had disappeared from memory. Last I saw it was 50 years ago.
The Crosman reminds me very much of the current production Benjamin EB22.

The crossman sure is fun to shoot but leaks a little. So the 12gram cylinder doesn't last a long time. The cowboy looking one is missing the apparatus that holds the cylinder in place. I Kinda thought these guns were at least 50 years old. Wish i could find parts to fix.

I had a Crossman like your Western Hahn at least fifty years ago.

I really had fun with that gun living out in the country.

I'd be really surprised if you could not run down the missing parts. If you can, post a picture of the grip with the panels off. A lot of the CO2 fittings were pretty standardized.
I would not be surprised to find that seals and other parts for the current Benjamin EB22 fit the old Crosman (I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they fit the Hahn. CO2 cartridges haven't changed much).
Try JG airguns for a start.
