I'm surprised they told you they don't have the records for a pre WWII gun.

I contacted Margarethe Weixelbraun at the email address below back in 2017 on a pair of Springer Double Rifles I had purchased. They were built in 1894 for a Maharajah, one in 450 and the other in 360. There was a third built at the same time for the Maharajah in 400 that the seller didn't have any idea of its whereabouts.

They were top lever hammerless boxlock rifles and were beautifully made.

She was very helpful and sent me a copy of the ledger book, they were the last three on the page.

I regret selling them.
