    It’s Czechicon.
    The inscription is telling what the rifle is. An Austrian 11mm Kropatschek rifle.

    Thank you. I kind of figured out what it means but the language was beyond me.

    Google Translate has auto-detect capability.
    In this instance it did a pretty good job. The only word it had trouble with was Kropatschek.
