Many years ago a relative gave me 25mm automatic that has engraved on side, "CB Haenel Suhl, Germany, Schmeisser's patent". Pictures can be viewed at "www.0a0a.com".

Would anyone know if this gun might have any collectors interest or value?

Thanks. Al

The buck has gained considerable velocity by the time it gets to my desk.

  Your pistol is the first Model Haenel-Schmeisser, made during the 1920's.
  
  Due to the non original grips and distressed finish it's collector value would be minimal.

  It still has a bit of value. These are uncommon to find. Unlike the MP38/40 submachinegun, Schmeisser
  really did design this one.
  
  Men have passed on...knowledge...yet in politcs, statecraft, and social relationships we continue to repeat old mistakes.
  It is a thing I must remember, that men must always remember, that civilization is a flimsy cloak, and just outside are hunger, thirst, and cold.....waiting. L'Amour
