NOTE: Wolfgang Leithner is documented as imperial and royal court gunsmith in Bad Ischl (Austria) from 1850-1880. The rifle is contemporary to the reign of the House of Habsburgs and Franz Joseph. Bad Ischl was a hunting retreat and summer residence for Franz Joseph and Empress Elizabeth.
Since this is a cartridge rifle, the carbine will likely date post 1875 or so?
