Rare High Standard Slant Grip ''The Victor'' Semi-Auto Pistol w/ German Proofs
serial #2460575, 22 LR, 5 1/2'' slab-sided barrel with an excellent bore. This excellent 1973-manufacture pistol bears German proofs dated 1976. In 1973 and 1974 High Standard manufactured several variations of the slant grip ''The Victor'' (a.k.a. the Standard Model) as a special order product. The military Model outsold the slant grip version and it was dropped after a mere 600 units were produced. Serial number range was 2,401,860 to 2,460,614 making this a late gun. It is purported that a substantial number of the 200 units produced in 1974 were exported overseas. This is one of those guns. It retains about 95% original blue and shows light use, most of the loss on the straps with scattered light handling marks. The target trigger and thumb safety retain full gold finish while the case-hardened magazine catch has toned to gray. The checkered walnut factory thumb rest grips rate excellent. This gun features a Patridge front sight, black blade adjustable rear sight, three groove ventilated aluminum rib, barrel weight, and serrated straps. It includes a single factory marked ten-round magazine. An excellent opportunity to add a rare variant to your collection. (8A11493-63) {C&R} (1200/1800)
