Quoted from the site AfricaHunting, here is a lovely M1910:

"Up for sale is the ultimate safe queen. A minty circa-1925 Rodda of London and Calcutta 1910 Mannlicher Schoenauer in 9.5x57MS. Includes RCBS Forming dies and RCBS FL Die Set.

Don't know what more to say. It's a stuetzen stocked Mannlicher. It has the nicest wood I've ever seen on one. It's immaculate. You will never, never ever, find one this clean and unmolested.

The weapon was a first-choice for safaris, particularly for cats. This one having been retailed by Rodda in Calcutta was certainly intended for tigers. The caliber is ideal for everything from elk and black bear, eland, kudu, waterbuck, leopard, and a host of other animals. Ammo is easy to make and several firms will manufacture ammo for this rifle as well.

Selling to fund a significant restoration of another rifle. For the price of a modern, soulless Africa rifle made in a soviet satellite country you can own one of the most storied safari rifles ever in truly exceptional condition.

$3400 with the dies."
