Page 240 of "The Encyclopedia of Spring Air Pistols" [TEOSAP ] shows a picture of a Healthways Marksman Air Pistol box (Below) but not the pistol. Does anyone have one of these pistols or even a picture of one? I want to know if the Healthways Marksman pistol said "Healthways" on it.
These are most often branded Marksman in the US. I know other collectors
dismiss these low powered guns but many people including myself started out with one. I still shoot darts with one.
Any help from the more experienced spring air gun collectors would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

It is the 1st model with bb storage in hand grip.

My first Marksman came my way when I was about 12. They are a fun gun to collect. Many many variations, single shot, repeater, finish, makers, address. A cheap gun and fun to shoot and collect!

There maybe one of these listed on ebay. Perhaps you can check the photos. If you do not find it, blame my memory.

My bad. Checked the listing again and they are selling the box only.

Reading this encouraged me to pull out the 3 that I have to check if any of them were marked "Healthways". Nope, all are "Marksman". I never realized that there were so many different boxes for these pistols. Here's the one I have. 2 of the 3 that I have don't work and I don't know if I'll ever get around to fixing them. For some reason they find their way to me when I make a group buy of several AGs.

I should have posted the air pistol picture with the box pic.
Early chrome model, a Sears & Roebuck 1010, Marksman Plainsman, I just found a hang-tag for a 1st model Marksman Healthways.
