This firearm is rare, having been produced in limited quantities by Josef Werndl and Karel Holub at the Steyr arms factory (ÖWG – Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft). Photo #6 shows the markings associated with Austrian Steyr-manufactured weapons (S\/ Josef Werndl). A distinctive feature of this firearm is that the bullet is loaded via the muzzle (caliber 28), while the cartridge containing the powder is placed in the chamber; however, it does not strictly require a metallic cartridge—a modern 28-gauge cartridge can also be used. The weapon is in excellent mechanical condition, unrestored, and features a two-position cocking mechanism. Please see the final photo (#12), which shows a small broken piece on the stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 110 cm; barrel length: 62 cm; weight: approx. 3.6 kg; caliber: 28 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very rare weapon that can be found today in arms museums and in the collections of true connoisseurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping to the European Community includes tracking and delivery confirmation (NOTE: NO SHIPPING to Romania or Bulgaria).
