Description:
Engineers or Collector’s set of Hi Standard 102 and 103 Olympic and ISU pistols in 22s (short).
These were used as a group for engineering and developmental use study. The primary objectives of the study were to determine or measure the effects of muzzle brakes at various locations in the barrel, the effectiveness of the tapered barrel design with end pendulum mass, and the utility of.22s pistols of high accuracy for defense and field operations purposes, where high accuracy and minimal collateral damage of any type were required. These guns now are offered as a complete set plus a 22lr barrel permitting comparison of 22s to 22LR low velocity ammunition. However, offers on individual guns and the .22lr barrel can be considered.
All are used, in excellent condition with only minimal surface scratching. All were acquired in Germany. some have German import and proof marks, and all have USA re-import marks. All have the OEM pair of barrel weight, and where originally separate, the removable muzzle brakes. Although purchased in Germany, no German proofing date marks are evident. All have 6.75” tapered barrels with enlarged ends. All guns are in 22 short (22s) caliber but a barrel is included permitting use with special 22lr ammunition.
Starting with the oldest or earliest manufactured, the guns individually are:
Olympic Citation 102. Lettering and trigger in black, stainless steel magazine. German importer marking. SN places manufacture in 1957. Removable muzzle brake with OEM screws.
Olympic Citation 102. Gold lettering throughout except for SN, some loss of blue on trigger
Extensive additional barrel markings, special red and white sight picture, slight mars on bracket for weight and frame that are underneath the bluing, and probably from factory processing of the gun. SN places manufacture in 1958. Removable muzzle brake with OEM screws.
Olympic 103 ISU model (integral muzzle brake). No gold trim, grey-black finish on trigger. SN places manufacture in 1959. Not marked as Trophy or Citation. SN-matched box (illustrated) stating model as 9299.
Supermatic Trophy 102 ISU model (integral muzzle brake). Lettering in black, gold plated trigger. Magazine has a braze shim at base for tighter fit and improved feed, but will accept standard magazines. SN indicates manufacture in 1960.
Also included are one extra OEM magazine that will fit any of these guns, and one fluted barrel, which can be used with any of them so long as only very low velocity .22lr ammunition is used. Some tools, and one box originally provided with the guns also are included.
As mentioned, the preference is to sell all guns, the .22lr barrel, and 22s OEM extra magazine as a set, but offers on individual guns or the .22lr barrel alone can be considered. All guns are C&R. This collection also is offered locally, with chance of prior sale. All can be inspected and, if desired, tested on site.
Additional image are available, if desired.
