I have received much info from kuduae and I think he is right.
These actions were made by various makers in Suhl and Zella-Melhis, the sister town in Thuringia.
The true name of the system is "Ideal" and the "Schmidt & Habermann" moniker is an error, some "Expert" calling it this because many such rifles were sold by Schmidt & Habermann.
However I must confess that if I think that those actions are very well designed inside, they are bulky and not too elegant and it was an headache trying to make a good looking rifle with the one our customer furnished.
We have to blueprint very carefully all the internal to avoid any play and I remind that we were forced to machine thin bronze bearings on new hard heat-treated main axes (n°25 & n°7) to obtain a smooth operating.
Also we have taken great care in heat-treating after engraving.
I think that they are good for such cartridges as the 6,5x57R, the 8x57JR or the 9,3x72R, but the same action, modern made in modern steel, would be perfectly suitable for any medium bore caliber.
We have done only one rifle using that system and honestly we don't plan to make another one, preferring to work on Heeren action.
