Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 My grandson is here to visit and brought me a gift. I collect small pistols of all kinds, most under-powered relics from days gone by. You know, the kind that if someone shot you with one and you found out you'e be ticked off. This a Haenel-Schmeisser SAP Model 1., a .25 auto from the 1920s. Needs a magazine and the safety lever is missing, but is otherwise in pretty good shape ( the bore is near perfect) and intact and is good enough for my collection a TCPs (Tiny Crap Pistols). A little cleaning here and some oil there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I have a Haenel, I also need a safety, been looking for a couple years no luck. You can get after market mags, but the original has a notch in the heal for take down. I see them on Gun Broker often , but quite expensive.

It will be a while because I don't get to see my grandson often and we're gonna get to know one another for a week of so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Okay, here 'tis. It's pretty well complete except for the magazine and safety lever. Proofs (an N under a crown on the barrel shroud, slide and frame), a five digit serial #78xxx, and all writing in English....which leads me to believe this was made for the American market....are all intact and proper. Right grip is broken down the front edge, left is intact and not even badly worn. Both at otherwise in great shape. Gun cocks and locks and the cocked indicator pin works. Firing pin seems to be go in and out the correct distance. Grip screw may not be original as it has a VERY narrow slot and it sin't quit centered. I'll have to work to get the grips off. Finish is slightly better on the right than on the left, but has some surface rust and slight pitting. I have deduced, my dear Watson, that it was owned by a right handed person who kept in a drawer. The left side is more worn than the right, but not very deeply. This indicates that the right-handed owner laid it in the drawer left side down. So far I have cleaned it with GI surplus gun oil and a soft sponge, being careful not to do any more damage than it has already suffered. If I could get the missing parts and get the grips off to clean and check the insides I would have no compunction about firing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Howdy, No magazine. It should be a crime to leave the mag out of a gun when selling or storing. A friend took in a beauty of a german 22. No mag. I put in a lot of work trying to find a mag. One day I walked into the shop and someone bought it without a mag. I didnt really need that headache anyhoo. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
