    Now there's an interesting idea: 'we' made the Austrian army Girandonis!

    It sounds quite plausible, but wouldn't it have made some waves in London?

    A contract of that size at that time couldn't have been fulfilled by a single manufacturer, could it? If the work was sub-contracted out to several or many gunmakers, wouldn't news of this 'bounty' in employment terms have found its way out there eventually - whatever secrecy conditions were imposed by the contractor - leaving some sort of trace in London/English gunmaking circles, ie trade press/archives/oral history?
