Dear Stephen,
thank you very much for your kind message, the link I sent is a story about my grandfather, who is the son of a gunsmith. I added it mainly for the gun photo. My grandfather was apprenticed to Mr. Dusek in Opočno. From Opočno he went to apprenticeship in Poděbrady to a master who was a pupil of Faukner. In 1934 he became independent and bought a gunsmith's shop in Olomouc from the gunsmith Presker. Among his most important clients was the Liechtenstein family from Šterberk (prince Johannes).
The weapon which is in the Czech Republic I had in my hand, I will be glad to send you photos. I'm sorry the gentleman won't give it back or sell it when these guns were illegally confiscated from us.
Here is my email: jiribihunec@gmail.com, if you are interested, I can send you more photos of weapons my grandfather made, he was also active in writing articles.
If you're interested in anything about him, I'll be happy to write it all down.
Best regards.
Jiri
