If it's indeed made in Vienna and built before WW1, it might have a Viennese action. Those don't have any stell flanges. But the hammer is fastened directly to the key via a brass "fork" (Kapsel, in German), sort of a flange. You can look on my website at the Bosendorfer piano. That one has pictures of the Viennese action. Let me know if you need more details.
