    Whaaat?!

    http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=6681897

    I can't believe that someone paid 900 euros for a postwar Haenel. Must have been a nostalgic 'Ossi' (East German)...

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    A bit like the Webley Mk3 that went for way over the odds not so long a go.

    I think you will find that is quite a rare model, only made for a year or so before Haenel (as it was) stopped trading. You dont often see them for sale and when you do, they always make their money. Maybe it was a made keen ex-Haenel employee , who only needed that model to complete the set?? And. maybe he will finance the purchase by selling off half a dozen drum magazine repeaters cheap.. ?? You never know

    Take all sorts to make a world, as my late dad used to say

    Not the only Haenel with a "wrong-way-round" front sight.

    Given that an FWB300S or Diana 75 is better and costs €250-300, that is insane pricing. But, ho-hum, that's people.
