thats one of the pics missing now in my original post 1914 webley catalog, seems to be they had only one style than and interesting that the mannlicher M 92 sporter build from what was in fact a surplus action cost one pound more than a mauser sporter with a brand new action. the high pricing mannlicher schoenauer action, also new made again only one pound more than the M 92 for the british sportsmann the mannlicher M 92 must be something like a first love they never forgot. I have not seen a austrian or german made M 92 sporter till now. the only continental mention is from august von spiess http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Von_Spiess in his time as the hunting master of the king of rumania. in 1930 he got two M 92 military rile's from a rumanian arsenal and send them to vienna, maybe to springers erben. the rifles were sporterized to becoming present's of the king. |
