SOLD SOLD (15/08) *Very Good Condition* circa 1933 Haenel Model 28 .177 Air Pistol. 19897. - 19897 Hugo Schmeisser designed this pistol in 1927, but production didn’t start until around 1933. It continued up to the start of WWII, but ended there. Approximately 25,000 model 28s were made, along with a few thousand earlier unnumbered guns. The model 28 has a conventional break barrel for loading, but the gun is cocked another way. The barrel is only held by a chisel detent, so all you do is break the barrel down at any time to load. The action is cocked by unlatching the pistol grip, which is a sub-frame, from the upper frame of the gun and swinging it down and to the rear. The trigger is a single-stage, but slop in the trigger mechanism allows the blade to move like a false first stage. This example is in splendid condition with the metalwork retaining 90% of its blueing. The wooden grips are equally as nice only showing very minor signs of use related wear, with the Haenel panel on both sides. The serial No is stamped on the lower side of the back strap ‘12370’. The pistol cocks and fires with a strong spring action. The price includes UK delivery. 19897. £0.00
