Export Haenel Mod. 300 "Junior" A rarity, rare and in excellent condition Cal. 4.5mm Diabolo break-action rifle

Haenel Modell 300 Junior                                             (see lettering in the arrow)The rifle was, according to tradition, intended for export to Denmark, with a production of 200 pieces.The rifle features a safety, which is also not standard. However, this is quite common with the Modell 300.The special feature here is the Bakelite safety and not a modern plastic safety as we know it from later years.Thus, this rifle would be rarer than the models MLG 550, Senior or Junior 33, or the IV/M.I would rank its rarity on the same level as, for example, the Modell III-53. The III-53 sold in two observed auctions for around 4.5k to the new owner.So if you collect exotica that are missing in most collections, this is exactly the right place.The rifle is in a very nice collector’s condition, works perfectly and the Bakelite safety also functions with excellent pressure, as does the accuracy. Of course, the rifle also has some signs of use and slight patina from the past years, and in the two red circles there are scratches. The front one is relatively light, the rear one is clearly noticeable with the fingernail. Last photo! Please check the pictures. Many more  models in my other listings.
