English v German/Austrian gunmakers

Luckily for the posterity, the statistics I have are referred to the "Austrian" provinces in those times.
I took the date referred to:,
-Niederoesterreich
-Oberoesterreich
-Salzburg
-Steiermark
-Kaernten
-Tirol & Vorarlberg
The "Republik Oesterreich" of our days corresponds to those "Laender" (provinces), plus Burgenland (belonging to the Kingdom of Hungary at that time) minus the part of Tyrol that in 1919 was given to Italy.
Therefore, the comparison between data of 1906 and those of our days is possible with good approximation.

You are correct...for sale if interested.. (Vaagsland..for ccustomer..)

It will find a good home then

( I’m more into finding a 9,3 set for the one I have now )

When comparing 1906 with recent statistics it should be noted that in 1906 iron sights were mostly (>90%) used. Shooting distances on game can be quite long in the Alps which made most game out of reach for the average hunter those days.
