New on the Saleroom auction site

[micky2]

I bought a mod 50 from Gunstar 10+ years ago. It's in fair condition but the wooden pull knob is split and only half remains. Was it the one you spotted?, it's the only one I've seen...

No, the one l that l saw for sale was when l had just started collecting in 1986 at my local gun shop, it was with 2 other airguns, and he would not sell it on it own.

The Haenel Model 50 is a very desirable piece that I have been tracking along with the other Haenel air pistols. I have documented 25 examples, both short & long barrel versions and have been very fortunate to acquire a few of the Mod 50.

Wow, that is some collection, l didn't know that there was so many about. you lucky guy.

Now tell them about your Haenel Model 51 Bruce!

There are several very interesting pistols now listed for auction here including a Cogswell & Harrison Certus and this extremely rare Anson’s Star. Although it has issues including an incorrect pellet seater, these are ultra rare and very desirable even in poor condition. Once again the estimate is ridiculously low to lure potential buyers to come along and bid.

Anyone any ideas what the two threaded holes in the grip of the Certus were for? Someone added a stock? The rear face has been made flat to accommodate some addition.

Cogswell & Harrison did indeed picture a stock for fitting to the Certus in their contemporary advertising, but no actual examples have ever surfaced to actually confirm its existence.
