When I visited the Stiegele booth at the 2011 IWA show it seemed that they were then only an auction house. Reading their website (using Google translate) I gather they now also sell guns and may have left the auction business.
Most of the guns for sale on their site seemed to be "beaters" and hardly the quality of the guns retailed under the Stiegele name in the past.
It seems like all of the pre WWII Stiegele marked guns that I have encountered over the years have been of very high quality. I don't ever remember seeing a medium to low quality gun wearing the Stiegele name. Thus I tend to automatically associate the name Stiegele with best quality guns. I would like to read the views of others on this forum regarding their image of the Stiegele name.
Danke,
Roger
