But a a similar period article on the Verschlu der Rekordgewehr gives that it has a 20(friction surfaces) point lockup and is manufactured in Liege by Scholberg & Delheid and adverts for it thru Thieme & Schlegelmilch and those of Franz Jger are either found on adjacent pages or possibly on the same page.
J. Novotny isn't listed as a F. Jger and I would assume he sourced directly to Liege and with the Record on the floorplate, it all seems to ring true. Thanks to M-4 for bringing this 1910 J. Novonty peddled examples to my attention.
Cabelas #2202434 - Hammond, Indiana
With the Jen Pro Broky and Prague Nitro proof, I wonder if it was finished in Prague by Novotny's mechanics or if the Nitro proof exposure was required? Also there is a slight difference in the Belgian stamped weight of 1437.3g and the Prague stamped weight of 1433g. Maybe their scales weren't synchronized.
Kind Regards,
