The most spectacular in James D. Julia spring 2011 auction ( now Morphy) sold for 9775 $.
In one of these is also the script "L.Wurzinger in Wien", so Franz Porizka took over some time his Viennese shop.
The Wurzinger guns/rifles date 1867 to 1875.
3. Check for the calibres in these hits, possibly one of these is also yours.
The Austrian gurus I knew on these old calibres are all gone.

Hello felix,
Thanks for the reply.
I appreciate the translation. It now makes it clear why that name was also on the barrel. Interesting that you mention that Werndl in the James Julia auction. I actually collect Werndl rifles, and have a similar Schuetzen Werndl, although mine is not as elaborate. I expect my rifle was made in the late 1870s up to 1880 .

Hello montenegrin,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, that is the exact cartridge for this rifle. I'll be making some cartridges and will shoot this gun soon.

Hello Argo44,
Thanks for the reply.
I wonder what game the Austrians would be hunting with such a large cartridge.
