Indians For Guns

Recently I got one Haenel Model II 0.22 Air Rifle (looks like pre-WW-II model )
Here are some pics.
I would welcome suggestion and information of the rifle to enrich my knowledge.

I have revised the post based on suggestions received and added some pics for identification.
It is written that "HAENEL MODEL II D.R.P.
No SL found.

Another one for your collection! Do tell us about markings on it. Maybe one could then cross reference it.

BTW, it's in wonderful shape.

absolutely beautiful!

did you say "another"? how about the rest? too many of these beauties in the closet, eh? naughty naughty.

many thanks both to Katana and Supershaji, let me closely examine it for any marks on it, and I will come back to you.

Woweee man! Looks like a proper vintage AR! Where did you get it from?

Pure vintage,
wonderful collection Swajan !!
Kudos...,

HI! the Haenel came in DRP I DRP II DRPIII . DRP means the German patents that were in force until 1945. I can't verify the start date for D.R.P. markings, but it looks like they probably began either in the 1870s or 1890s.The date of manufacture is stamped under the barrel, around the point where the barrel enters the baseblock. It's very typical of German airguns to have a date stamp somewhere on the metal parts. The M.O.D II is only different from the M.O.D III because of the set screw on the trigger; otherwise it is identical.
FINALLY !! DRP means- Deutsches Reich Patent (German Empire Patent) these patents were found on things manufactured before WW- II .
Round monogram with S/H STAMP MEANS SMOOTH BORE and HAENEL written inside an ARROW means RIFLLED BARREL

Thank you, i think i have lightened my mind by sharing this.

Hi! one more thing the factory was in the city of Suhl east germany at that time

Swajanda,

Since you showed me the rifle when we last met all I can say on the forum is : I WANT THIS ONE FOR MY WARDROBE

Great collection Dada.. This one is older than my BSA Model 2
