Fuhrmann:
Thank you very much for your contribution to my ramblings & >>what if....<<. And also for reminding about the CIP, which had members in 1914 but was interrupted due to the 1st Major Disagreement in Europe and things started to again come together in the mid 1920s.
I just wish there was more accurate bullet diameter data but @ the moment I really have nothing. Beating a dead horse, but I am most curious about the barrel diameters/stampings of German vs Austrian(6.8mm / 6.88mm) for the Austrian Hey-Day of the 6,5X70R(„Bleistiftpatrone = Pencil Cartridge“) where Franz Sodia was highly lauding the cartridge. By the way, he had a huge influence in Ferlach and was afforded many liberties by the Ferlach Proof Facility as his wares do not always have the full regiment of touchmarks. I see a few loaded 6,5X70R cartridges along but they wear a price-tag of $100. But if I can find a bona fide Franz Sodia headstamp, I will try to acquire it. Franz Sodia was the driving force(for some reason unbeknownst for now) in Austria and led the charge for the 6,5X70R in that region. I suppose an artikel on the subject would be beneficial with additional research.
Lep Pozdrav,
