When my grand father passed away I inherited a few of his personal things. Some of them being his rifles and his Benjamin. I will post about the rifles later, I have to dig them out and take some photos of them. My questions today are on his Benjamin pistol. I have the original box, the papers that came with it including the price tag for 16.95. Very cool to have it all like that. I was wondering where the serial number is supposed to be on the pistol it's self. It's a 132, .22 cal., has the wood grips and pump. The pump handle is grooved. It has almost all of the blueing left, it's only missing on the top of the barrel where a kid (who me?) would put his hands when pumping it up. She still pumps up and shoots real well, even though the seals have never been replaced. It's not as powerful as it once was, but still does a pretty good job. So, after getting real wordy here, where would the serial number be, does it have value, how to take care of it...maybe freshen up the seals with out replacing. I'm thinking he may have bought it late fifties or early sixties, but with out the serial number how can I tell? Thanks for any help you guys can give me!
