Hello, Ziplock!
Personally, I'm not familiar with your rifle, but perhaps these folks can help you: German Gun Collectors Association (GGCA). I realize you've said it's an Austrian firearm, but Austria is right next door to Germany, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the folks in the above organization can offer some help. Their website is:
http://www.germanguns.com/
GGCA also has a number of books that may help (albeit a bit pricey), depending on how badly you want to find out more. On their "bookshelf" listings I see an Item # B004 - "German and Austrian Gunmakers' Trade Catalogues". (250 pages; $59.95 non-members/$55.00 members.) Or Item # B050 - "Austrian & German Guns and Rifles." (303 pages; $100.00 non-members/$90.00 members.)
But I think I'd start out first by contacting GGCA to see what they have to say, before spending any money. Or otherwise, just keep an on-going search to see what turns up, on-line or otherwise. Hope this helps. Good luck! :t
