you see this is a archive thread, imho the very first tinme someone collect them to get an overview what was made and who was made it. would be nice if you post pics of your Haenel rifles, the M 88 and also the M 1900 and M 1909 you have. the main producers of M 88 sporters were Haenel and Schilling in Suhl, both make military carbines up to 1898 when the M 98 came so had the machinery to make new carbine actions. unfortunately many of this rifles have no name because made for the gun trade to get the name of the gunmaker who will sell it in the end.
the only chance is maybe to find some features only one maker had or get an overview about the serial numbers to sort it out if there is a Haenel or a Schilling made rifle.
