1946-49. They may have used a special 21 caliber pellet. Crosman warns users "Do not use the original C02 tank without it being tested"
I would really like to answer your question but I need to know the model number. Crosman has made several .22 Cal rifles over the years.
Lets start with how to identify the rifle. When you say "model 95". Model 95 made by who? All of Sears air guns and rifles were either made by Crosman or Daisy. The model numbers that sears used identified the manufacture by the first three numbers as such. 126 represented Crosman and 799 represented Daisy the following numbers can be translated into the original model number. From that I can give you the years it was made. This information is only about 75% available because some of the records were lost over the years. I need the Sears Model number to assist you further.
Crosman has been making air rifles since 1923. They have made over 100 different models over the years. So when you ask, "What is the value of 60 year old Crosman air rifle?" It's a little hard to give you an answer with out knowing the model and condition of the rifle you are asking about. Pleas state the condition and model number of the rifle so an estimate of value can be determined.
Originally Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were 3 separate companies. Benjamin bought-out Sheridan. A few years later Crosman bought-out Benjamin. Today Crosman owns all 3 companies. In 1975 Crosman started serial numbering Benjamin / Sheridan air rifles. Before that (1975) it is not easy to identify the year the Benjamin or Sheridan's were made.
Crosman never made a .22 cal BB rifle. They made several .22 Cal Pellet rifles over the years. Several are still in production.
JC Higgins sold over 50 different BB and pellet guns/rifles over the years. They were made by Crosman and Daisy. You need to give more information like the model number in order to identify the air gun.
Crosman has made several 22 cal pump rifles over the years. You will have to give more information in order to get an answer. look for the model number and give a description of the condition that it is in like. Poor. Fair, Good, Very Good, or Excellent and is it still working?
If you are asking about a Crosman air rifle / gun. There are over 50 different models made over the years. State the model and the condition of the gun and you might get an answer.
I can't help you with the photos but the Benjamin model 317 was produced between 1940 - 69. Currently Crosman owns Benjamin. Crosman has a partial list of production dates online. Go to the Crosman home page and click on Customer Service. There you will find a "Date of Manufacture" section. See the related link.
Winchester did not make a model 81.
Which model? All the different models are assembled differently. Crosman has made over 100 different models over the years.
S&W did not make the rifles. Howa made them and S&W branded them.
