Also w/ the Boche(alboche) German sentiment in the U.S. of A. post WWI and forward till after WWII, I find it difficult that someone in the U.S. of A. would have ponied up much for the cobbled together lot. I realize there is Austria & Germany but they get lumped together. This scenario was the bulk of why Fred Adoph lost his shirt, and much more, in the sporting weapons arena.

Cheers,
