Fine Anschutz Special Order Model 210 Record Match Pistol
serial #7375, 22 LR, 11'' octagon Bohler-stahl barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a wonderful deluxe German target pistol specially ordered through and retailer-marked by Stoeger Arms Corp. of New York. The barrel retains about 97% original blue showing a little subtle fading under bright light while the action retains about 95% fine vibrant case-hardened colors with just some mild drifting to a pleasant smoky gray patina along the high edges and backstrap. The trigger set lever, rear sight assembly and action release retain essentially all of their original rich bright blue while the trigger shows nice straw color. The action is embellished with fine quality filigree scrollwork and light border motifs also showing engraved model designation and maker information along the top and the left side engraved with ''OLYMPIA PRICE WINNER''. The German engraver apparently got his English wrong as it no doubt was meant to say ''prize''. The pistol shows period ''(Crown) / N / B / U'' proofs and the walnut stocks are quite lovely featuring generous swooping thumb rest on the left side, finger grooves and adjustable hand rest on the right. The stocks rate excellent showing nice checkering and carved oak leaf and acorn motif, the left side also with a small ivory diamond inlay. The checkered forend features a generous horn tip that shows a little insect damage along the left side. The pistol features the ubiquitous Martini-style action, adjustable set trigger with firing extension screw, and bore cleaning access hole through the rear of the action. The rear sight is fully-adjustable and features three selectable notches while the front sight is a fine ramped bead-on-post with protective ears. An excellent example of these superb German pistols.
