Up for your consideration is an antique Hubertus large frame air pistol manufactured between 1925-1935.
It's in nice condition and functions as intended.
It is cocked by pushing the barrel in, but the knurling on the end of the barrel is to pull it back out before firing.
These were designed for plinking, but it was very easy to make stronger by removing the original spring and put in a stronger one if the owner wanted to use it for varmint control.
