Raimey: Franc Sodia and Franz Sodia is the same person of course (in this context), just different spelling. Cheers, Jani

Drew,
It was sleeved at a time when the Proof House was insisting that the word SLEEVED was stamped on the outer sides of each barrel just above the barrel flats.
If you look at the Gunbroker pictures you can just make out those markings once you know where to look.

Drew, The gun was not made for export but for direct sale to a British officer in occupied Austria. Cheers, Jani

I agree with Jani. But was not Austria a member of the C.I.P. either on July 14th, 1914 or @ the 1924 confab in Brussels after the delay of WWI?? Then the Brits brought their proof laws forward to mimic or similar on August 3rd, 1925. Austria followed suite on August 14th, 1929 being in force on September 1st, 1929. German forced all under their umbrella during the Second Great Conflict to their June 7th, 1939 rules. After the Germans marched back home in 1945, Austria rescinded the German Rules of 1939 and reverted back to the 1929 rules. Then on June 13th, 1951, a new set of Austrian Proof Rules were devised that were effective on July 1st.
I guess the question that begs is were the Brits a member??

It appears that Great Britain was not a member but @ some point did have a special trade agreement with France that allowed importation of British wares that were not subject to reproof.

Maybe a part of the riddle. I once had a Cogswell and Harrison with a Paris rib address and Austrian proof marks.
