The Hahn Super Repeater. What a nice little gun, blued steel and wood, they'll sling a bb through a metal can at 35 ft. and accuracy is pretty god for a bb gun. This one is about 90%, not really sure how to date it? Nice quiet basement gallery gun, I like it.

The Hahn is good but......
How about this Variant 17 Model 25?

A friend of mine had a Hahn Super BB Repeater. I lusted after it (such as only a 10 year old could), but no change of having one - cost of CO2 and lack of funds - the Daisy 25 had to soldier on. That Hahn was and is quite a nice BB gun. I'll take it over the Daisy 25 for sure.

The 25 is nice, I have them from 1917's on up. Never had one of these Hahn rifles (have the revolver), the quality and materials almost rivals firearms and the Crosman line of vintage pellet guns. ;D

Yeah, it's interesting how good the quality of some of the old BB & pellet guns that were made decades ago. Makes me wonder if these new-age examples will last anywhere near as long? Got The variant one 1955-56 160 all finished with gas valve & barrel spacer finally. Hopefully will chrony it tomorrow?

Nice looking gun, I'd like to get a Crosman 400 repeater some day, lately I have been gravitating to semi auto's and repeaters, that's what drew me to the little Hahn, 30 shots available. The wood on the old stuff is quite nice. I have a few newer German made guns, and I'm sure they'll be around a long time, the materials, fit and finish are high quality for sure. Happy shooting ;D

Thanks. I'm going to shoot it the first time, sight-in & run some chrony numbers soon. Can't use the chrony at the range, not legal to shoot at home. But I have no other choice? Need the numbers on my guns for ODNR report 3/4...
