More than likely has a Jno. Hy. Andrew & Co. Ltd. Toledo Steel
Sheffield, England stamp




The Franz Drescher Troppau Jani notes that it has Sheffield tubes steel.


A Blitz drilling that I believe we know where it sourced.

I just knew there was cross-sourcing or effort between Gustav Tichy(1867-1942) & Franz Drescher as it was about 45 miles portal to portal between their shingles. I'm not positive on what part Franz Drescher played so maybe Jani can translate for us:

"Prodm kulobrok G.Tich Moravsk Ostrava 8x57Jr/16/65,Holland-Holland,rok vr.1938,klapkov mont F.Drescher Troppau...."

"I am selling a rifle/shotgun combination G. Tichy Moravska Ostrava 8x57JR/16/65, Holland-Holland, year of production 1938, scope mount by F. Drescher Troppau..."

BTW 'Holland-Holland' is a popular European naming for sidelocks.

With kind regards,

Jani:
I've seen the phrase Velejemna Armani(?) Ocel on a H. Pieper style hammer double retailed by (V)Ladislav Svestak of Praha. I was curious what type super fine steel it was advertising?

Raimey,
"Very fine army steel", according to my Slovakian colegue Andy.
Armani should be Armadni in this phrase, meaning of the army (armada = army).

With kind regards,

Thanks Jani for the spelling correction. I could not read all the characters. I guess I should post an image.
