Description:

This Haenel K. K. Sport resembles an older Aydt system rifle at first glance with its falling block action, custom heavy Tyrolean buttstock, and removable rear sight. Most K.K. Sport rifles are plain and have more simple sporting stocks. It is marked "FRANZ GOTZ" on the upper right barrel flat near the front of the forearm, "SUHL" on the opposite side, "BOHLERSTAHL" on the left flat near the rear sight, "HAENEL" on the upper left flat of the breech, "HAENEL-K.K. Sport/Cal. 22 long rifle" on top of the action, and with several German crown proofmarks. It is equipped with a blade front sight on a textured ramp and an adjustable notch rear sight fitted on the quarter rib section of the barrel. The upper tang has a mount for a peep sight (not included). The action, forearm, and stock display detailed oak leaf designs in relief carving and engraving. The forearm has checkering on the bottom and a Schnabel tip. The buttstock has a rollover Tyrolean cheekpiece, checkering, right hand thumb rest, and a single hook Schuetzen style buttplate. The meaning behind the Franz Gotz marking is not clear. Gotz was a German fighter ace during WWII and a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and continued to serve in the West German armed forces until 1969. There is also a more recent Bavarian politician by the same. Gotz's Focke Wulf Fw 190 is in the Flying Heritage Collection in Everett, Washington.

Rating Definition:

Fine. Nearly all of the original blue finish remains on the barrel. The other components display gray and brown patina. The buttplate has some light oxidation and traces of case colors. The wood is very good with crisp checkering and carving, a few small chips, and occasional minor scratches. The action functions fine, and the engraving and markings are crisp.
