Treblig, Praha is, as I understand it, not so much the "old" name for Prague, but the correct name in the Czech language.
The people here who can shed the most light on the subject are likely to be Raimey, who helped me immensely when I first bought the Lovena, and Felix Neuberger, who posts here under the name Felix and is a contributing author to the DGJ.
My understanding is the Nowotny was kind of the leading maker in the Czech gun community, finishing guns acquired in the white from locales like Leige, as well as building them from scratch. I also have heard (can't confirm veracity) that he was one of the founders (or contributors) to the co-operative that was Lovena. There are some mid 1990's articles in DGJ by Felix that are worth digging up.
