At long last I found a decent C.G. Haenel. For being the most common on the Suhls, Haenel has proved most elusive for me. Anyway, I like that it is a 1917, better to compare it with my '17 Sauer.
Overall it appears to be a nice example. The rear screw is stuck and when I get that out I will post the barrel code. The acceptance on the metal is very clear on most parts, and I tried to photograph every stamp clearly. Many small parts are lacking acceptance. It looks to me that the stock is Haenel (c/B) made, but most of the metal parts (and aspects of the stock?) are Schilling (c/G). The sight components look to be c/O. I'm guessing c/O is Sauer, judging by the third acceptance stamp on my Sauer 1917 1620c and by the barrel acceptance on Haenel 1917 6568e. This is all speculation, based on my earlier hypothesis.

The handguard is mismatched and it came with a chromed K98k bolt and no cleaning rod; Right now it has an armourers bolt in it. The stock is very nice, pretty grain patterns for beech, but varnish was applied at some point and I'm still working on removing it all. I'm going to get some gel remover and try that, though I don't think I'll try anything else until I can get it out of the stock. I have been cursed with stuck screws as of late!
