There were two kinds of Mannlicher – Schoenauer takedowns once available in the UK. First, the detachable stock type as offered as a factory option by the Steyr factory and described by Rothhammer and others...
Great information.
I've a few questions for you, Axel:
Do you know (about) when the earliest Steyr built take down models were produced?
Did Steyr ever produce the Take Down in M1924 or later models?
What are the earliest / latest proof dates known to you of Steyr built take downs?
Also - have you ever seen a stamping (on a 1920s MS) of what appear to be two small daggers crossed beneath a circle?
I like the sling on your M1903 Gibbs (and, of course, the Gibbs itself).
