    I think it's a Haenel II but missing its barrel latch release knob.

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

    l have to agree with the man above on this, there are 2 versions of this model they differ on the end of the aircylnder barrel lock up,

    Succinct and to the point.

    Mick I have two different ones, an export version with trigger block like a BSA and one similar to the one auctioned. They both have identical barrel locks.

    It is a haenal which is very similar to the early Diana 27 pattern but this thing looks like it should be going off to the local scrap yard much less an auction.
    Offer a quid for it.

    the "maRCO"

    has a [dianawerk] -style hand to stock and so like the german service rifle mod.gewehr 98-;if it is indeed a [haenel] would love to have this in the gunroom for a loving restoration if dough to spare;make a fine crimble pressie for ssomeone if not myself..first thought it was the [original V] which was briefly resurrected by [milbro]and called the "foreign";also perhaps a fritz langenhann (zella mehlis) rarity as he was first to perfect the straight cocking-arm and some pattern detent sans latch I believe but evidence of this last part must indeed point to [haenel] or "marco".regards.
