Nope - It's the 'R' model and only shoots ball,so no need for the lever which is just used for pellet loading. This model was missing from my collection till this collection came up
Old & Shaky - they would have been available prior to CO2 going on ticket - which I think was around 1966 ?
I only know of a few collectors, IJ being one who has 1 in their collection. The RD being the most commonly found version.
