The unique Vierordt & Compagnie of which you are the current custodian was greatly pressing the Sporting Weapons >>Envelope<< being the lasted and greatest with a new fangled 9,3X74R semi-smokeless round and the client & end user had to be convinced to accept such & press it into service. The Austrians & Bohemians were so, so slow in being swayed and held steadfast to older, proven technology. Ferlach platforms will still be found as hammerguns with metal buttplates well after the 1st Major Disagreement in Europe. The custodians wanted to see the hammers function & use the metal buttplate to bludgeon their quarry.

Hochachtungsvoll,
