These rifles were produced by the West German arms company Anschutz from the late 1950’s through to the 1970’s and were popular fairground gallery rifles (see page 5 of Hiller’s book ‘The Collectors Guide To Air Rifles’). This is an excellent example. It has a ramp blade fore sight and correct adjustable rear sight. Its removable 12 shot metal magazine is inserted in to the underside of the rifle by depression of a ribbed metal lever which opens the loading port. The magazine is marked ‘Suhl’ and has round counter viewing ports numbered 2-12. The barrel is crisply marked ‘Anschutz Erzeugnis Modell 275’ together with calibre detail ‘Cal 4.40 Nr 9’ and serial number ‘61973’. The rifle has a safety catch lever at the rear of the action. The rifle's original wood furniture has just light bumps and bruises consistent with age and use and has a ribbed butt. The 15 ½” barrel’s bore has typical fine rifling. The rifle is 41 ½” overall length. The weapon's bolt action cocking & firing mechanism functions crisply. The price includes UK delivery.
