I am voting for Miss Fanzoj as the most attractive female gun company owner. She is very well spoken and obviously erudite. I really have no knowledge of Austrian guns, but this is the info I found on Austrian serial numbers. It is interesting that Fanzoj is listed twice. I wonder if there were two gunmakers by the same name, perhaps different branches of the same gunmaking family.
