Do you know if there was a Kilby contact in Weipert and if so who? Are the original catalogues, Matska, Fukert, Morgenstern, Nowotny, etc. there also?
Raimey, John Kilby was very popular among Russian gunmakers I guess. Long time ago I had double gun SLNE made by Aleshkin and this gun was with barrels made by J.Kilby also. Gun expert Buturlin wrote J.Kilby was one of the best English barrel makers. No idea about Kilby's contact in Weipert, but it seems by s/n's we can see on Matska's guns for instance, John Kilby made and sold a lot of barrels.
Never heard about Matska's catalogs.
