Is it possible that what he refers to as a "safety catch" is actually the barrel locking latch?
Don R.
My cousins husband has got an old Haenel Model one. Ive not got the date of it yet , but he says it has a safety catch on it, but the catch is broken (awaiting more info). It is different to the one on Dannys site https://forum.vintageairgunsgallery....-i-circa-1930/
as that does not have a safety.
If anyone could supply any information/ put up pics (particularly of the safety catch) and knows where he might obtain a spare catch from it would be appreciated. He would like to get it to orignal spec.
Thanks

Are you sure your cousins husband doesn't mean the barrel catch?
Have been looking in the books and I could not find a model I with a safety catch.

Thanks Danny Now if anybody has a good pic of the proper safety on one or the sport model 33, then he is in with a chance of getting one made if he cannot buy one. Is it aluminium/ monkey metal or something else?
Does anybody have one by any chance? Its always worth asking

Does anyone know if the "Safety wing" off the model 49 will fit? Sportswaffen schneider have one in. Here https://www.versandhaus-schneider.de...f54d2f798aff77

Is the owner assuming this safety catch is a replacement (ie steel vs an alloy original)? If so, this may or may not be right.

I have a mod one with a flag safety at the end of the compression cylinder it also has an articulated cocking link. I'll get a photo later. It was made in June 1939.
The one one his gun is what somebody has made. On the sportwaffen site they had a new one and an old one. I said that for the money of the used one it was worth a punt. If it fitted and it is an old one then it will be of a similar age as the gun.
The rifle is not here Danny and I've never seen it in real life.
I suggested emailing the pics to you and hope that something turns up.
Thanks

Granted it looks a bit clunky and is not quite the same colour as the rest of the metalwork, but it's not a slam dunk that it's homemade
IMO. I'm not sure it' a part likely to need replacing and I think it's just possible it's the original.
In any case, the chances of finding another original are slim at best. But you never know.
