Um, looks like one of the Bread guns or a longarm made for a British officer during the occupation of Ferlach post WWII. Then it followed the British officer home and experienced reproof. But what is all that shrapnel on the lower rib obscuring the preliminary datastring? Pleasure us with an image of the water-table and I may be able to garner some info from teh Fanzoj ledger, if it still exists.
The Brits occupied Ferlach post WWII and issued maker numbers to the Ferlach mechanics.

Fanzoj is a pretty famous maker, and the firm is still in business. They come right up in google.
Dietrch Appel was working on an information base for German guns (which would include Austrian) when he died. That might also prove helpful. I can't remember the exact wording of the association.
That should be a very nice gun. Best of luck with it.

https://fanzoj.com/mountain-kingdom/Fanzoj's latest project, a single shot culminating a 2 year effort. A 338 Lapua Mag that is supposed to have the recoil of a 22 Mag or similar?? Serbus, Raimey rse

Serbus,
Raimey rse Raimey, Thanks for the information. I have added a picture of the watertable for you. As for the rib, Classic Arms in Tennessee did some work to the rib - which I believe has been replaced. I called them describing the work and they thought that it was welded material for reinforcement. I've been told they do quality work on vintage guns so I'm not questioning it - It's a gun I plan on using in the field anyway.

Um hum, so the >>21.30<< will be Fanzoj's British issued maker number, using House Numbers I think??, and it was Nr. 30. I will check with Fanzoj.

Serbus,
Raimey rse Thanks! Let me know what you find. As for the PSI I should be loading for; what would people suggest? Below 9,000?

I would say so, probably just for the recoil but Dr. Hause or Mr. Brown will have to do that Calculus on the 3 Tons per Square Inch.

I do wonder what the repair that was performed in England might have been?

Fanzoj gives that they were not allowed to make weapons till circa 1955?? And this would have been for a British General, or Officer in my book.
