    Every days a school day on here. l have never seen or heard of one until now. thanks to Dannys excellent site and Flint pointing me to it. l wonder if it was Haenels way of selling point stamping it with super and changeing the badge as well to make it sound much better. being as Diana had one with super on it.

    I kind of wonder if the “Super” wasn’t directed at the US somewhat like the Stoeger Webleys? Several months ago I got this 1934 catalog advertising it in the US? Seems like we have more than our share of all the Haenel pistols?

    That catalog shot is very cool - looks like we should really be watching out for a "28 Super Repeater"!

    I think there is a difference between “Super” and super? Is the last just a adjective in respect to the Repeater? Bruce said it’s the only known catalog that advertises a “Super”.

    Hi Flint, is there a date on the catalog which would help us as to when they were being sold. a great find by the way.

    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.

    I didn’t know they sold extra barrels?
