This is the FB Record Jumbo, standard model. It was manufactured in West Germany from 1982 to circa 1997. The standard model has chequered walnut grips and fixed sights. On the other hand, the “deluxe” model usually has smooth curved walnut grips and an adjustable rear sight. There is at least one deluxe model that is known to have carved oak-leaf pattern grips.
The Jumbo is a concentric air pistol with an over-lever cocking arm making it exceptionally compact. So compact that it feels like a real pistol. Whilst it is also fitted with a safety catch, the pistol also cannot be fired unless the cocking arm is locked in the closed position.

Help – I have a record jumbo std model, that my son is interested in using – but the cocking arm is broken at the breech and is held together by a bolt through the release catch. Have you come across any spares other than the seals? I’ve not seen any parts online but after reading your strip down guides wondered if you had come across any?
I’ve never found any spares for the Jumbo. You will either need to find a donor gun, have someone may the part for you or make it yourself.
