The dealer I hung around at when in college in the 1960s had Mausers stacked like cordwood. Buy mailorder from him and "hand select" meant the best looking gun in the top layer. $5 extra on a $30 rifle for a half minute scan was not a bad deal... for him.
One distributor more recently came out and said that "special select" meant the best of the next five guns out of the crate. You do not get a lengthy search of everything on hand.
