Anshutz info

[sumuno]

I have a barrel/receiver but can’t find model number. Trying to figure out what it’s worth and age. Can’t seem to figure out how to post pictures.

Typically speaking, Anschutz barrels will indicate the model number right on the top of the barrel. The year would be marked on the side (older with actually year, more recent with alpha coding).

The action type is pretty easy to determine but there may be various generations/variants of the family of actions (54 action, 64 action, etc)

Here are pictures of sumuno's rifle. Late 50's Flobert?

Model "Garden Gun" Flobert design from the 1950's, close but not the same as the later model 1361

In my email to you earlier this week I said I thought the barreled action appears to be from an Anschutz Flobert action single shot rifle such as a model 1361. It doesn't appear to have a date stamp in the usual place on the left side of the barrel near the receiver. Date stamps began to appear by 1961. It's SN of 169542 suggests it's from the late 1950's, assuming Flobert action Anschutz were numbered consecutively with 64 action Anschutz rifles.

The logo on the front part of the receiver suggests the rifle is no older than 1955, when that symbol began to be used. After WWII Germany was not permitted by the Allies to manufacture rifled firearms until about 1954.



You didn't reply to my question about dovetails but I think there are no dovetails on the rear of the receiver. Since it's only a barreled action, it's likely to fetch less than the value of a complete rifle. Sometimes owners of similar models are looking for parts. This might be the best way to, um, part with this.
