Hi there,

I am new to the forum. I am hoping someone can help me with some info on my air pistol. I have an antique lincoln pistol. It is incredibly good condition. The top says THE "LINCOLN" AIR PISTOL, and has an A2 stamped in a small square. It has serial number 1004 in four locations, it actually has 04 on two of the locations. The blueing seems really good, especially considering ones I have seen on the internet. The side of the pistol says best english make. I am not a collector, my wife's grandfather won this in a poker game over 50 years ago. I am trying to find out some more info on the gun. When was it made? How many were made? What was the original purpose of these pistols? What is the approximate value (low and high)? I know it is pretty rare, but I am having trouble finding info on the gun. I saw one on an auction, but mine appears to be in much better condition. I really appreciate any info you can provide. I have pics, just not sure how to post them. I can email them though.
