I’m not really sure if I was lucky or not with this one. I’ve seen this brochure one other time on the bay and missed it. Surprised to see it again and in much better condition. Threw out a crazy high bid at the last seconds and ended winning it by 44 cents! Lol. Not sure it’s at all worth what I paid but didn’t want to try to wait for the third one. I have a pretty extensive collection of Haenel pistols now and so cool to see them in a contemporary brochure. The entire brochure from the one I lost is in the Gallary but here are a few pages.

The last page of the brochure is stamped with the retailer Hudson Sporting Goods 52 Warren St NY, NY. Building is still there on Google Earth. Wonder if there are any Haenel Brochures in the basement?

It's probably not an accident your winning bid was a little more than the under-bidder. Most online auctions accept bids in increments of 50 cents or a dollar or thereabouts. If, say, you put a maximum bid of $80 on an item and the next bidder comes along and bids $50, the system will make you the winner at $50 plus one increment.
Hence it often seems like you have just won an item by the skin of your teeth, but actually if he'd come in and bid $75 you still would have won it, only you'd end up paying $75 plus one increment.
On the other hand, if he bids maximum $50 first and you come in with a max of $51 at the last minute, you would genuinely have won by a tiny margin...

I did the later, I actually bid $51 and he bid 50.66. Only the prices were higher! Got a email from a major Haenel collector who told me he was going to throw out a bid higher than mine but he over slept!

What is nice about that catalog is that it also lists a separate ammunition specifically for the Haenel Model 50.
That boxed long barrel Model 28 has been on my Want List ever since I read about it in John's book ESAP. A couple more of the Haenel models not in the catalogue which I believe were made specifically for the American market. I guess you can say they are just Super.
