Re: Would you believe I found this - A Johann Peterlongo 11.2x72

According to Harald Wolf from Hatari Times, Peterlongo should have imported some Rifles caliber 11,2x72 Schüler from Suhl. The ammunition for that was supposedly manufactured in Bratislava under the name 11,2x71 Rapid, since there were import difficulties of ammunition from Germany to Austria at the time.

It seems that rifles of this caliber were also produced locally by Peterlongo. I am just wondering for whom and for what. Neither Germany nor Austria had any colonies at that time, Austria never anyway, and as far as exports are concerned, the cartridge 11,2x72 was not very competitive with cartridges such as the 404 Jeffery or 425 Westley Richards from the same period. Some rifles caliber 11,2x72 were certainly intended for export, mine is also marked for Lyon & Lyon in Calcutta, but it seems that many of them were no exported and that a lot of rifles caliber 11,2x72 must not have been in service, either in Africa or in India.
