The guns were built in 1947 for Donald E. Jordan, FO, stationed at RAF Schwechat (Vienna) and appear virtually unused. The original order and maker's receipt, etc are included with the guns. It was not uncommon for British Officers stationed in Austria at the time to order guns from the Ferlach trade. |
