Who is firearms merchant from Vienna on the top rib? I assume those are Belgian pattern welded tubes? True, small arms tube making was a small sideline as the steel producers and rolling mills were interested in huge public works and machines of war.
Raimey,
I do not know. All I know is that it is an Austrian muzzle loader. I had assumed the damascus was either produced in Austria, perhaps Italy as it very much like the Beretta damascus of this period I have seen. Honestly, I have not seen enough of the Austrian or Beretta damascus to be certain.
