See the big thumbscrew/nut on the right side of the receiver behind the cylinder.  loosen or remove, the gun should open up like a S&W breaktop.

Thanks for the clue, just bought the DA Starr and don't believe its been opened since it left the factory. I thought it opened in that manner, but didn't want to force it. A few taps with a rawhide mallet did the trick.
