C.G. Haenel -Schmeisser in 6.35mm. I saw one of these at a small rural gun shop and just had to take it home. Anyone else own or are familiar with this little pre-WWII German 6.35mm pistol. From the serial number I was able to learn that mine was made in 1921. Production stopped at the beginning of WWII. If the Schmeisser name sounds familiar he designed and built the well known WWII German Schmeisser P-40 machine gun. This little vest pocket pistol is a little weird in that it has no ejection port on the slide, unlike the Brownings or the Colts of this era. I enjoy collecting unusual vintage firearms like this little guy, especially the high quality and expert craftmanship one’s from Germany. Anyone else out there have one of these? They seem to be rather rare.
