Rare Mannlicher Schönauer in 10.75x68

My friend Geoff P_ has a lovely Mannlicher Schönauer rifle chambered for the 10.75 x 68 cartridge. I only get to see it when he brings it along to our infrequent Big Game Rifle shoots at the range, however he provided a couple of photos a while back and they belong here.

This is the 'big daddy' of the pre-WWII Mannlichers, however there appears to be vey few of its stable-mates in existence. I have been told that the Mannlicher Collectors Association knows of only four rifles in this calibre: Geoff's example, one in the US, and a couple in Europe.

Anyone here know of other Mannlichers so-chambered?
