Re: Mannlicher Schoenauer in the 1939 Stoeger catalog

Quote:

I have a set of Stoeger catalogs dating from 1914 (the first issue I believe) up through WWII and into the 1960s.
A wonderful research source.
I would trade the entire set for a clean MS Takedown calibre not too important.

I'll bet you would . Mine is not for sale or trade as long as I'm breathing, and i'd not have much use for the Stoegers in the great beyond (though there would be a lot of time for reading, I suppose).

The old Stoegers (and other catalogs) are, indeed, a fine resource. I have only the 1939. I bought one on Ebay to 'deconstruct' and it was just too nice to peel apart so I bought another (at a rather good price) from which I carefully seperated the cover, worked the staples out, and flat scanned the Mannlicher relevant and some other images.


I wonder, when you could get to them, if you would be able to tell us when the Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles and carbines were first listed in the Stoeger (for me, the M1910 is of particular interest)? What was the price for an M1910 in 1922 (the year mine was proofed)?

I 'zeroed in' on the 1939 after having seen some rough images of the '39 and '40 pages 50 and 51, and figured it would offer the best 'snapshot' of what was available at the culmination of the 'classic' (pre WW2) Mannlicher Schoenauer production.



For those interested, I have shared closer views of the 1935 DWM and English Cartridge ballistics charts from the '39 Stoeger to the General Reloading and Gunsmithing Forum.

Enjoy,
BR.
