    Hans Bradler had a shop at Stubenberggasse no. 9 in Graz, the second largest city in Austria after Vienna. He seems to have been an all round gunsmith who did repairs but could also produce a complete gun when called on to do so. One Austrian source states that his “Specialty: shotgun shells of own production”.
