    A Walther LP53 was the first Pistol I bought. Superb shooter but then got into the blued classics.

    What would a nice Haenel 28 cost me ?
    Remember, it is the strongest character that God gives the most challenges.

    Hi,

    As a guide I paid £300 for this nice, boxed example a few years ago. Very well made pistols, but not as accurate or easy to use as the Webley equivalents.

    Hi,

    I have't put it through the Chronograph, but will try to remember to take it along to the range and do so in the near future.

    Always wantend one, finally found it last year: a Boxed 28 at the Second Kempton fair (Tim Dyson). Good condition, lots of original bluing left, not mint. Incl paperwork, fabulous set. Recognised iT from a YouTube clip from an English chap showing/schooting his vintage collection in his backyard (still available). Paid steep: £375.

    I have a later straight back that shoots great and an earlier brown grip example in the more unusual smooth finish with adjustable trigger, the adjustable trigger isn't as nice as the non adjustable of the later model but much prefer the look of the finish of the early model, both are very accurate when you get the hold right.
