HUNTING FIREARMS by Johann Fanzoj/ FERLACH, Austria The firearm production in Ferlach goes back to the 16th century, when Emperor Ferdinand I is said to have gathered capable gunsmiths from the Habsburg crownlands here in this valley in the Rosental, favored by our natural resources: torrents from the Karawanken, water power was needed, wood, and of course iron ore. So an early weapon industry evolved here that would soon become world famous. For eight generations and thru moved times, the Fanzoj family has played a significant role in shaping this proud tradition. Today, company Johann Fanzoj is a Manufaktur, that means each Fanzoj firearm is designed, engineered and built within our workshop by a team of highly skilled and enthusiastic craftsmen who combine centuries-old knowledge of traditional techniques with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. A Fanzoj hunting firearm is still 80% handmade. That means each piece is unique. Hundreds, sometimes thousands of hours of work go into making a hunting rifle.
