Can you verify with a loupe that in deed the initials are >>IJ<<?? And not some other worn mark?

Right off hand, I. Just is about the only possibility & I for one have no idea if he even existed. Stretching the possibility a bit more, if JJ morphed to IJ then Joseph Just, but that is one huge stretch of the imagination.

The only I. Just that might be around in the early 1950s is Ignaz Just, mentioned in 1938 as a gunsmith at Steyr. If he went (back) to Ferlach after WWII he might have been one of many home workers employed by Franz Sodia (and others).

Maybe our distinguished member from Bonn could see about the Bock's ledgers. Or, alternatively, if anyone can penetrate the Ferlach Beschussamt, the ledger number will tell the story as the pertinent books are still there (I had some luck with them in the past, but they remain in silence in recent years).

Cheers,
Jani

Ignaz Just, well the resident Ferlach expert has shown. Hum, great suggestion.

I'm just now coming into this thread. I have a marked Franz Sodia drilling from a similar time period ( 1956) but in 8x57IRS. From the form of the receiver and the game scene engraving, I am sure the subject drilling was made by Franz Sodia.

According to my ad hoc research this "Kunna Koblenz" is in fact a Franz Sodia made in 1952 (or 1951) and sold to W. Kunna of Koblenz for the German market:

It should look similar to the subject 1953 proved specimen retailed by Bock.

Cheers,
Jani
