Haenel Model III-53 (very rare)
With thanks to Eberhard for the heads up.
Eberhard, himself a collector, said:
Here are pictures of a Haenel mod.III-53, a super rare LG.
Manufactured shortly after the war from original pre-war parts.
There are maybe a handful of this model left.
Spotted on eGun.de. The seller said (according to Google translate):
Okay, let's get to something very special:
I am offering a genuine Haenel model III-53 from my private collection. The condition is as seen in the photos: Absolutely collectible with good stamps. Perfect working order with strong pressure.
Not much needs to be said about this... all Haenel collectors would love to have a III-53, but the number of examples in circulation can be counted on one hand.
I've been looking for it myself for almost 10 years. Other collectors have been searching for decades without success and have never even seen decent photos of the III-53.
So here is a UNIQUE chance to get such a piece for your collection. If you don't strike now, you may soon regret it.
As long as the advertisement is online, I accept serious price proposals by e-mail. But when it's gone, it's gone...
