470Rigby,

No idea about historical masterpieces but the fact is that Brno offer their rifles in a number of "modern" calibers including all of the old favourites and the relatively new 7mm Rem and 300 Win magnums.

Per Billgren told me that he had contacted different Ferlach gunmakers and was trying to sell them a patented type of Damascus barrel steel though he might have been unsuccessful as I have never heard of any being made in Ferlach. Even Flodman, who make their shotgun barrels with steel from Damasteel do not make barrels from this material for their O/U rifles.

I have posted this question on some British forums and if any information comes up, I shall copy and paste it here.

Best wishes,

Mehul Kamdar.
