Anschutz X rifle (1607) Coeur de Lion, one of a kind

Description:
With original stock, hand stop, and sights.  One of a kind airbrushed artwork throughout. 

The Anschutz X-rifles, an intermediate series between the 1500 and 1700 rifles, were an attempt to reduce lock time, but soon were recognized to be much more accurate than their predecessor, or successor guns.  This was attributed to the specific steel used for the barrel and receiver, but investigation of this at a scientific level was limited. 

The X series rifles are marked as M54, but not with a specific series number, other than the X serial number.  With a 26" supermatch barrel, this gun would fit into the sequence pattern of a 1607, but generally these are only called X-guns, rather than 1607 or 1613 (for the longer barrel version).

This one offered is unfired except for the original factory test firing.  It is one of a few that were converted to airbrush works of art in Germany.  One side has the image of a lion, the other a tiger, with additional wildlife scenes on both sides of the fore grips.

The X-guns are uncommon, those converted to works of art are far more rare.

No original paperwork.  There are a few minor defects in the paint surface, in the form of mild or slight imperfections from handling at a few edges, and two pressure marks near the tiger face.  Any speckling in the images is from illumination and not in the paint surface.

There really are no comparable sales to use as a price guide, so offers might be considered (but no trades or exchanges).
