DRP indicates a gun made under the Nazis. It stands for Deutsches Reich Patent or something like that.
I'm seening one that looks definitely prewar but on receiver just has Haenel DRP. Not like the blue book "Haenel Sport Model 33"? Sure looks like the same rifle?

You can show a picture, maybe then can help.
According to the pictures, it is an early "model 33", without the typical imprinting but with the reference D.R.P. a, German Reichspatent. The a means that it was patent pending but was not yet confirmed.
