	I have an 1871 Mauser 11 mm single shot. Marking for the Armory or maker is: ESTRR WAFFB GES. Can anyone identify the maker or Armory? I believe the last two words were Waffen Fabrick Geschelshaft What is ESTRR ? Was this a usual maker? Any information appreciated.

	OWG probably - Oesterreichischer Waffen Gesellschaft (Austrian weapons company) - nowadays known as Steyr - after the city OWG was established in.

	Can anyone add to the history? Was the Austrian weapons factory a contractor to the German government, or were they making these rifles for the Austrian military? Did they make many? Thanks for any information.

	The rifle is a military bolt action. This is not our main topic here in this single shot rifle forum. You can look up at wikipedia: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Maybe its manufactured at "Österreichische Waffenfabriks-Gesellschaft".

	@ Water bug. Gut, dass Du es auf Deutsch lesen kannst! Leider kann ich Dir nicht viel helfen, ich kenne mich nicht sehr gut aus mit Militärwaffen. Biggi.

	Hi Art. Das Wort "feuerbixler" ist ein Wort, das ich selbst erfunden habe. Das bedeutet im Bayerischen Dialekt: "Ein Schütze, der mit dem Feuerstutzen schiesst." "Feuer" ist von "Feuerstutzen" und "Bixler" ist vom Wort "Büchse". Und "Büchse" ist ein anderes Wort für "Gewehr". Du kannst meine homepage besuchen, dort steht alles über Feuerstutzen und Zimmerstutzen: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Biggi.

	Are you sure the stamping isn’t “ÖSTERR” or “ÖSTRR” and not ESTRR?? As in “ ÖSTERR WAFFB GES” ?? That should be the correct arsenal for 1871’s built at Steyr or "Österreichische Waffenfabriks-Gesellschaft" as it was known back then. Ich kann auch Deutsch.

	Agreed... “ÖSTERR” or “ÖSTRR” I have a OWG 1871. An excellent rifle
