Here's another rare palm rest. This one is a Feinwerkbau anatomic. (FWB's part #3.5.010.901) Unlike the Anschutz, this one has gimbaled adjustments, and is hand specific. This only fits the left hand so is made for a right-handed stock. Got it? Outside of the FWB accessory page on their website, I've never seen one before. I searched all the vintage Beeman catalogs and couldn't find a single shred of info. I'm guessing that Beeman never imported this item. I'll also assume since this is laminated like some of the FWB 10-meter rifles in the 1990's, that it was introduced sometime around the 601, C60/C62 release.
This one has been very lightly used. Mickey, the gentleman who owned it, collected 10-meter rifles and pistols and all the obscure related equipment. He traveled through Europe much of his life and so I'll surmise that he bought this in Germany.
Just a bunch of views.
The match gun accessory rail was standardized between most companies. This will fit FWB, Walther, Steyr, Anschutz, Dianawerk, Crosman, Air Force...
For a sense of scale, I typically wear a LG/XL glove. The Euro palm rests are massive.
Well, sadly, I've kissed it goodbye. This one's now gone off to none other than FrankB. Hope you enjoy it.
I'll be back to the Marksman Mod. 70 next time around. Also Frank's!
