I think you answered your own question. It's a combination BB and pellet rifle. I can add this information. It was made between 1969-86. It a pump rifle using the forearm as a pump. The name Benjamin Franklin was a marketing gimmick. Ben Franklin had nothing to do with it. Walter Benjamin started the company in 1899 and today it's owned by Crosman Corp.
Benjamin made this model from 1946 to 1985, but did not start serializing them until 1957. I also have a Benjamin Franklin that has no serial number. Before 1957 it is not possible to set an exact date. Just know it's OLD. The 137 is a .177 caliber pellet pistol the 132 is a .22 caliber pistol and the 130 is a BB pistol.
