Picked this up off eBay, missed out on the other two with articles on the 101s. Thought I'd share it here. Hopefully they come up again or if someone else has a copy can post them .

I like thumbing through old airgun magazines and articles. Knowledge that has been long forgotten is occasionally rediscovered.
-
That's really cool, any date on when it was published?
-
1979. Crazy the 101s were only 54 years old when it was published
Here's an article from 1991 on the Crosman 100 as well.
Sorry messed up the order of pics. Last pic is first

Also have to watch out for inaccurate information. The .177 caliber Crosman Model 100 didn't come out till 1940. The author of that 1991 article states 1924 - 1950, which is not correct. I've also never seen nor heard of the "crackle"(wrinkle paint) on a model 100.

Tough to beat the trigger on the 100 and its siblings as far as pumpers go.
Could be fun to have a shootout with our 100s
