Not sure on ole Ferdinand Just but the probability is very high that they are related.
Mr. Neuberger:
I had my suspicions you were in attendance @ the auction & I for one would have assumed it was your heavy handed bidding that drove the price up to an interesting sum. But then again you have commented that you have peaked on collecting. But have you an image of this Russian Beauty, being a Johann Springer Erben Secretary in Vienna? Maybe if I visit you can give me the Springer 5˘(Nickel) tour and make the introductions?
I have heard, read & seen that during this COVID19 period, there has been an astronomical increase in purchase of luxury arms in Russia.
Although I do hate to admit it, but those Perazzi competition guns are like magic wands.
Cheers,
Raimey
