Help wanted from Haenel pistol owners

[lodmoor]

Got a Haenal that I always assumed was a 28 but says 'Haenal Air Pistol' on the engraving. Got an 'R' as well.

Just picked up a early “Haenel Air Pistol” on the Bay in the US, this morning. Could easily tell by the flatter grip emblems, luckily it had a very reasonable buy it now and a 14 day return. Should be fun. All my Haenel examples are later production. Another giveaway to early production is the tall boxier front sight. Thanks for this post for bringing these to mind.

Hi it will be interesting to see what the se/no is on it when it arrives.

I just received the Haenel Air Pistol I bought online last week. It’s my first since all my others are 28’s or 28-Rs. They said they couldn’t get it to work but had a reasonable to me “buy it now” with a 14 day return so I took the chance. Funny it works fine I’m sure they didn’t know how to cock it! Lol. It’s serial number 3714 and the only issue is a missing sight screw adjuster. Has all the characteristics, flat emblems, hidden stock flanges, tall front sight, round latch. Mine has “made in Germany under the barrel, do many have this? Certainly keeping it, should these go for a premium over a 28?
Is the sight adjuster the same as the 28? Below is link to pics.
