Here's an image of the lock on a recent Russian publication on Gustav Bittner.   Publication credits. There are some Fkerts, of course along with a few other Bohemian makers and Matska, that rival anything made by the craftsmen on the little isles. Kind Regards, Raimey rse

I'm quite disappointed to have sold my 16 gauge Fukert. It was a great 30" deeply etched barrel hammer gun with hammers very closely set. It was fully engraved with many gold figures and leaves. I miss the little Fukert.

Are you a custodian of a Fkert example?

I am pretty sure that Cabela's has Ferdinand Fükert's first and last name incorrect and this is a Fükert example: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/conten...erarchyId=11653 . Interesting addressing of the forend with the big beaver and I'd guess that would give weight to some of the continental longarms having the big beaver. The frame sort of looks of German origin but I'd say it is Belgian as too were the tubes sourced from Belgium Kind Regards, Raimey rse Is this the spelling that you referred to?

That's one of the spellings for Ferdinand Fkert of Opava/Opawa/Troppau. Does it wear Belgian marks? Not sure if Ferdinand Fkert of Opava/Opawa/Troppau was a direct relative of Gustav Fckert, who had some 3 cornered deal involving Franz Josef I and a gold watch in 1906(Czech-German Expo in Liberec) & by 1908 he had a royal appointment after Archduke Ferdinand ordered one of those lovely Crown sporting weapons circa 1907. Gustav Fckert gained accolades circa 1873 from the King of Saxony (1876) and the King of Wrttemberg and in 1883 received the Knight's Cross of Serbia for his wares. So by this date he honed his skills to focus on upper rung offerings.
Cheers,
