Love that spud gun. Could it have doubled up as an airgun if the end section is easy to remove, so explaining its well made structure? I am thinking that it has a lot in common with the old German Nova pistol, which you could use as spud gun, or you could remove the end unit and load a slug or dart.

Blimey!
Or Zut alors!
Nice model 1400 hot rod!
The 1400 was designed during the "Going Great Guns" era at Crosman in second half of the '60s. I think at least part of the inspiration for this "tarting up" of the Crosman line was that the owner, PY Hahn, was planning to sell the company. In any case, this resulted in the 1300 Medallist II (harking back to the chrome plated model 150 in presentation box circa 1957) the 1100 shotgun, 622 clip repeater, 451 semi-auto, and the 1400. Crosman put great effort into the 1400 and ended up, having 3 or 4 variations during the trip, with the finest pneumatic rifle since the original model 101.
