Steyr added to the confusion as they used a pic of the M1924 to advertise the M1925 Hochrasanz/High Velocity model. Making a new illustration was still expensive in the late 1920s. In Germany they offered left-over M1924s in the then here unpopular .30-06 chambering , with receiver ring inscription altered, alongside the new M1925, but at a 10% discount on the 7x64 and 8x60 chamberings.
In their 1929 catalog Steyr still used the illustration of the M1924. The description of the High Velocity model mentioned the standing rear sight with one folding leaf as "standard", while the 3 leaf express sight or a tangent rear sight were special order options.
