I'm hoping that this thread is still being monitored. I was recently perusing through my local antique shop when I spotted the neatest B.B. gun I had ever seen. I had a feeling it was special. Come to find out it does seem to have a bit of collectors value.
It is labeled Hahn "45" BB Single Action Revolver on the left side, and on the right side of the pistol it says K.Y. HAHN MFG. CO., INC. - FAIRPORT, NEW YORK
When I found the gun seemed a bit "loose" as if it was missing something or hadn't been put together properly but I bought it anyway. When I got it home I took it apart. It simply hadn't been put back together correctly. That has been corrected. It now works like it's supposed to.
It does have a small broken piece missing off of the right side grip, and it is missing the "Retaining Screw Assy 45-49." There is also some slight wear on the paint. Aside from these problems the gun is in working order. It does not have a holster, the original box, or any other accessories.
I am interested in finding out if there is any kind of interest in this BB gun as well as an approximate value if at all possible.

You have a good find. The Hahn is one of the better designs in 6 shooters. They were known as "Leakers" because they had a tendency to leak C02. One in Fair to Good condition is worth around $45 to $60. I have one in my collection. After Crosman bought out Hahn they didn't change the dies so for several years all the Crosman 45's still said PY Hahn on the side. Your probably missing the cover over the C02 cylinder. There was a plastic cover that covered the C02 and made it look a little nicer. I just took and old Cylinder and painted it black for display. BTW do not leave a charged C02 cylinder in the gun it will cause it to leak.

The Hahn BB revolver company was bought out by Crosman who continued to make the revolver. It was made between 1958-70 and later became the Frontier 36 model. Please state the current condition of the pistol to get an estimate of value. Is it still working? Is it in Poor, Fair, Good, Very good or Excellent condition? I need more information to give an estimate.
if ur trying to get the newest 45 bb gun it is about 100-200$
