Another beauty in my wardrobe !!!

Post by swajan » Tue Apr 30, 2013 2:09 pm

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. :D

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.

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.
