...and I'm trying to identify the model, so I can find missing parts. In the early 1960's I was a teen and my Elder Brother bought me what he called a Savage-Anschutz, although the markings have no reference to Savage. It's a .22LR, single shot.
Description follows:
The trigger is very simple, a long straight trigger lever, a rectangular metal block vertical sliding sear, a flat leaf spring along the bottom of the action with a screw securing it to the action at its forward end. A fairly typical bolt, the sliding cartridge rest/extractor thingie, and a single stock screw out the bottom of the front end of the tubular receiver. Configured for RH operation. Tapered sporter weight barrel is pinned with a horizontal pin through the bottom of the receiver.
Single shot, very plain style unadorned stock (as memory serves), a leaf notch rear sight with a sliding adjuster and 5 holes for adjustment stops, and a dovetailed, unhooded blade/bead front sight. Sliding knurled sheetmetal safety at right rear of receiver, retained with a thin plate and two screws fore an aft. Blued action/barrel, polished in-the-white (or perhaps chromed) bolt.
Anschutz crest atop receiver ring, top and side of barrel marked with maker and caliber info, no reference to Savage or model number visible. Left side in caps "MADE IN WEST GERMANY", and "Cal 22 Long Rifle", top "J.G. Anschutz Gmbh Waffenfabrik Ulm/D. Germany", and Serialized 278XXX on left front side of receiver.
Right now, rust is splattered everywhere, the bore is growing whiskers, stock and extractor are missing. Close examination shows no other legible markings, rust is bad enough something might have been missed.

Miracle of miracles, the bore cleaned up as bright as a mirror.
