Apparently, Johann Springer's Erben biggest clients were of the House of Lubomirski, Polish szlachta(Nobility). Then the Russians arrived @ the end of WWII and confiscated all the Guns, & possibly more, and that's how so many Bohemian examples landed up in Russia; much like that of all the German Guns that landed up in the U.S. of A. Pozsony/Preßburg/Bratislava - Vienna was a collection point for cultures and about any else & it was there that Seifert József left his mark.....
