The identical sight appears to be sitting atop my Anschutz 380, the last recoiless springer made by them. It would probably be somewhere from the mid 70's to the late 80's.....
: It's an older model. Anyone know the model number, and/or approximate dates it was manufactured?

Can't specify the date of manufacture but I have just finished cleaning and measuring one for a client.
It was originally supplied with his 1413 Supermatch. With a 33 inch sight radius, this sight has 1/6 minute clicks for both windage and elevation.
The closest modern equivalent Anschutz sight would be the #6805.
If you wish to calculate minute value of clicks for other sight radius applications, the actual sight movement per click is 0.00156"

I had one just like that on a Savage-Anschutz Match 64 from the 60's

I'm sorry I don't know the number, and I don't have an old catalogue with me at the moment. That sight was supplied with the Match 64 action, and for the 335 air rifle. Yours has an English style variable iris, and a PH or AJP endcap. Later versions had re-settable windage and elevation knobs. The sight shown would be made before about 1985, and probably starting sometime in the early 1960's. In 1985, my school bought six 335 air rifles; one had one of the later sights shown above, and the other three had a newer version with BIG, but unadjustable knobs.

It looks very much like the mid-1980s Anschütz Match Sight Set which came on the 380 and 1403 rifles. The sight base itself is p/n 6705.
Pieces and parts for this set are still readily available from Neal Stepp at ISS or Champion's Choice.

Practically, that was not the top of the line sight and is "old". You want to check it carefully (with a micrometer) before using it.

It's a model 6705 rear sight. It was often called the "standard", as it is made from alloy to save weight over the 6702 steel model. They were produced from the '60s to the '80s. The current 6805 sight is essentially the same but with bigger adjustment knobs and a built in plastic glare-tube. Click value was 1/20th mil (approx 1/6th moa)
