Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher, staunch Austrian patriot, was a mechanical genius of the first order. His prolific inventive abilities were devoted entirely to producing the military weapons with which he hoped to buttress his country against what he considered the inevitable Russian assault from the North.
This book is written from records of the Steyr Armory which came out of Austria before the Russian occupation. The illustrations are official, being based on the famous drawings of Konrad Von Kromar. They were executed with the cooperation of von Mannlicher directly from weapons designed and manufactured by him and exhibited at the World's Fair in Paris in the year 1900.
