Mine is also the rare 'Pigeon' model, not the more common "Flying Turnip" model

Edgar,
I thought the "Pigeon" model had a straight grip and 32 LPI checkering. I'm afraid someone duped you. What you have is a "Yeoman's" grade with the corncob forend and plain walnut stock sans checkering.

Both mine, and Phil's are the rare Pre-64 model, long before the Yeoman model came out. These were engraved by famed engraver Stanislaw Kowalski

This is my model 118 Targeteer. Technically it isn't a BB gun. A BB gun shoots .177 diameter pellets. The Model 118 shoots a .118 diameter pellet, hence the model number 118.

This is my favorite concealed carry gun when I go out and suspect I'll run into a rogue gang of grey squirrels.
I do have a permit for this class of 'Destructive Devise'.

I have one of those - my grandfather gave it to me when I was little - not sure if it had been his or my Dad's - he also gave me a Red Ryder he took away from some kid for shooting out one of the few street lights we even had in town (Grandpa was the part time cop in town)

Several of my friends had the model 155 when we were little. That was Daisy's 'Trojan'. My model 25 belonged to a guy down the road, who is 6-7 years older than I am. His father was going to throw it out, many years after his son had grown and moved out. He gave it to me, and it was missing the shot tube, which we happened across, in their old wood shed many years later, Nice to reunite the parts.
My recollection was the 155, and the Red Ryder, had very little oomph, so the streetlamps in your town must have been the old, clear glass light bulbs.
The only light a 118 can shoot out is a candle, no more than 6" away; barely a puff.
My dad wouldn't let me have a BB gun, but gave me my first .22 when I was BB gun age. I was only allowed to use it with his supervision, but he believed kids thought of BB guns as a toy, and were too careless with them. This may have been true, and was probably a reflection of parents also thinking that, and not properly training their kids to respect the gun.

Same with my parents. I was never allowed to have a BB gun and for the same reasons, but like you, I had a .22 Remington under the Christmas tree when I was 10.

My bad. You never mentioned S. Kowalski as that upgrades it significantly.

Here in Md. you probably would.
