Henel vi e photos

[Phil Russell]

After my thread about rebuilding a Haenel VI E, I was asked if I could supply a few photos. Here they are. I have not included a photo of the mangled spring end, just use your imagination for that. The trigger guard is shown and, as stated, there is no trigger adjustment screw as on the IV E. This makes me wonder if this guard is not original.

Please note the rear sight is not original equipment.

However, enjoy them.

Cheers, Phil

Lovely rifle Phil, thanks for the pics. Amazing how similar it is to the Diana 48 DRP (second pattern) model and how both of them are a blatant rip-off of the post-WW1 BSA Standard, with only quite small differences. John Knibbs mentions a couple of times in The Golden Century that illegal copies were being imported from Germany and that this competition had forced BSA to cut its prices at the beginning of the 1920s and again in the 1930s. But he doesn't say what, if any, legal action was taken against the manufacturers for breaking international patent and design protection laws. Presumably none was taken.
