Wondering if anyone knows the years these were produced in Germany and imported by Florida Firearms Corp. Miami, FLA

1974 is the year it was proofed.
The German firearms laws were made much stricter in the 1970's. Due to radical Maoists, like the Baader Meinhof gang, and their wannabes. Most of the manufacturers of low cost utility guns like Schmidt, were not able to stay in business.
I'm not familiar with the Florida Firearms Corp.? My WAG is that the HS guns, ceased importation in the 70's?0 -
Looks like the old Buffalo Scout, which was branded by HS. These were sold by FIE for $27.50...Probably worth double that today [;)] 0 -
Commonly called the BUFFALO SCOUT imported by FIE in Florida. Later Model number changed to the E-15. I've owned a dozen of them over the years. Not bad guns IMO if you take care of them. 0
