This is a very nice Hämmerli International (208) which I bought as a back up gun in 2017. I have another Hämmerli 208 S for sale, so I repeat the history on this model here again. I am not a historian on guns, but Hämmerli nomenclature can be confusing. The best I figured it out is as follows. In 1936 Carl Walther introduced the Walter Olympia for the Olympic games, which insured many gold medals for the German Athletes. After the war, Germany was not allowed to manufacture weapons, so Walther made a deal with Hammerli in Lenzburg Switzerland to produce the guns. Improvements were made and after some model changes the Hammerli International was born. The Internaltional is also known as the Model 208 and 208 S, even though not all were marked that way. All 208 models have target grips with an adjustable palm rest and a thumb rest. Other models werethe 211, which was the 208 with regular grips and the hunting version which had regular sights cut into the slide.As far as I know the 215 is very similar, but has a squared triggerguard. Again, I am not an expert, but i was curious about the differences. In the late 1980s or early 1990s the production was stopped due to cost increases.
The International (208) has probably won more matches than any other competition pistol in its class.
The condition I would consider excellent minus. I have shot it in competition, since I started Bullsye competition a few years ago. I was shooting both guns alternatively, so they would always function. Unfortunately my eyes are not as good as when I started out, so I had a red dot mount made and it helped me immensly ( please see my other listing for this) The red dot and red dot mount is not included with this listing.
The gun is high gloss blued with some parts matte blued. A few wear marks from the slide can be seen. The magazins are not serialized on this gun and are a little hard to get out, but they work perfectly. The grips are matte wood . The gun should only be used with quality ammo with standard velocity. It can be picky, but I found Eley Sport ( now the yellow box) and SK ammo to work very well.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Also see my other Hammerli and the red dot sight for it.
