Re: Victorian-era English .256 Mannlicher w/musket stock

its of topic here but I talk with kuduae about it and my two mannlicher's. instead of send him the pics alone I can post it here:
a 6,5 sold by H&H and a .375 by Wilkenson



what I call a Steyr 1892 is in fact a model 1892 and the built year is hidden now under the side mount
so it can be...




someone telling me the eagle stamp was a romania stamp and the crossed swords was a british stamp




if so this could be one of the 5000 rifles production overrun they made in 1992 when romania take only 5000 for a trial. probably all 10000 made in 1892 got this stamp when made in the steyr factory.




the second rifle is a 1893 made model 1892( not marked as such on the receiver).
problem is they don't need any rifles M 1892 in 1893 because there was only an order from romania for the different model 1893 that is NOT a M 1892
so without an order it seems this rifle was made in 1893 only to sell it on the civilian market.
