Beautiful and Scarce German C.G. Haenel M.1909 Sporting Rifle
|
DESCRIPTION: Beautiful and scarce German C.G. Haenel M.1909 sporting rifle in 9 x 57 mm caliber. This is a C.G. Haenel Grade III sporting rifle, with all the extra fancy features! Half-round, half-octagonal fully ribbed barrel. The barrel rib displays the maker markings, "C.G. Haenel, Suhl, Germany". The rib is matted on its entire length. Both sides of the octagonal part of the barrel display "Star of David" over wording, "Bohler Special" (indicating that a special, high quality steel was used to manufacture the barrel). Some steel parts of the rifle are lightly engraved. Blue finish on the barrel. Case coloring on the receiver, buttplate, trigger guard and magazine plate. The receiver displays following markings, "2,79g G.B.P.". American style peep-sights are installed on the bolt cocking piece. Lyman's flip-type rear sight. Silver-bead, two position front sights on a long matted-top saddle. Double set triggers. Schnable forend. Steel trigger guard and buttplate. Beautiful sporting style walnut half-stock with flat sideplates, cheek-piece, pistol grip and diamond checkering at the wrist. Safety lever is located on the back of the bolt. Turned down bolt handle. Sporting style sling swivel on the buttstock, sling eye on the barrel. The serial number is stamped only on the buttplate. Overall length is 45 inch. The barrel length is 24.25 inch. This model was produced in a limited quantity, with perhaps less that ten thousand rifles ever manufactured. The design of the action is a modification of Commission Gew. 1888. The major improvements included a new, internal box Mauser-style magazine with Haenel's 1906 patent pivoting floorplate. Haenel might have tried to bypass Mauser patent rights, designing the magazine along the same principles, and yet somewhat different in details. Stripper clip guides are machined into the back of the receiver. Shielded bolt. The bolt main body has two gas-escape holes. Haenel offered M.1907, M.1908 and M.1909 rifles of similar design on both, civilian and military markets. At least two countries purchased quantities of Haenel military rifles: China and Paraguay. China purchased a number of Haenel M.1907 military rifles, with very similar actions, for the military trials of 1907-1908. The mechanics of this particular rifle are almost identical to Paraguayan M.1909 Haenel military rifle. Some military rifles from Chinese and Paraguayan contracts remained in storage in Germany, and were reissued to the German auxiliary units as, "Aptierte Haenel-Gewehr M.1907" when the Great War began in 1914. CONDITION: Excellent. 98% of crisp, original finish on metal. Slightly fading case coloring on the buttplate and magazine cover. Excellent bore with strong and shiny rifling. Strong and smooth action. Mechanically the rifle is in perfect condition. All the internal parts of the rifle are in excellent condition, with no visible wear. All the markings and numbers are clearly visible on metal. Very attractive stock with a couple of minor handling marks and light scratches. The lower part of the buttstock has a small chip, just in front of the buttplate (please, see pictures). Fantastic quality of machining and metal finish! Beautiful and scarce Haenel M.1909 sporting rifle for a discriminating collector! Serial# 163XX. |
