interesting story, I will send Ziegenhahn an e-mail and ask if they sold collector cartridges. there was no market for a new cartridge for decades because we have the 404 in the M 98 and nobody realy need another round but at least in the last twenty years we have see a battalion of new wildcats between .400 and .458. the post war german three groups ammo concept of some standard caliber, special caliber and obsolete caliber that will be in production only for some years was not realy bad but it did not work in the fatherland alone never mind other countrys. no wonder for me the 10,75x73 aka 404 was the biggest of the special cartridges.
for the gentleman with the taste for something special the 404 schüler magnum could have some merit's today.
