Looking for appraiser for semi-antique Anschutz .22 Mag rifles

Dan Adams · Jun 1, 2018

Can anyone aim me at an appraiser with experience with Anschutz rifles? I have an Anschutz .22 Mag rifle with set triggers that I bought used in 1961. I want an accurate appraisal for insurance purposes. Anschutz is notorious for not keeping accurate records. I did find examples of factory markings typical of three different periods prior to 1961 but my rifle has unusual markings (dual model numbers, for one thing) that don't match up with any of the examples. Online gun sale sites (e.g. gunbroker.com and collectorsfirearms.com) haven't shed any light.

In lieu of someone here being able to point you in the right direction, there are always what i call "specialty" forums. Have you tried rimfirecentral.com? I've churned up a lot of good rifle specific information there.

Hi Dan,
one site you might want to do a search on is the luger forum.
i just went there and did a quick search using Anschutz and a lot of stuff came up.

Thank you! Yes, that's another forum I periodically check out. Mostly I see that a lot of other people run into the same dead ends that I do. Classicsportingguns.com has shown and sold some similar models, but none with markings at all like those on my rifle, and the range of prices is too wide to use for insurance purposes.
