Note there isn't a Austro-Hungarian preliminary proof touchmark nor a preliminary datastring and that on one pass the tube diameter was 16.4./16.3 and much later 17.1mm was the diameter.

Lovena FAVORIT as posted by Raimey might be of Ferlach make, as such a Schienendrilling is shown in the new Ferlach book; Ferlach proof 1935. (Needless to say I'm overly clumsy to lift the photo from the tome.)
Cheers,

Jani:

So any chance this action began life in Ferlach even though there aren't any Ferlach proofmarks? The tubeset had to be sourced from Sauer and has Sauer process stamps. Who in Ferlach was making those fashionable sideplates?

Raimey,
I do not know, and I'm not in a speculative mood. Another Ferlach gun with similar sideplates is a Josef Mischitz from 1946; maybe made using older components.

Thanks Jani & those fantastic sideplate adornments were native to Bohemia.
