Look up Marie Kautzky Grant and 3/4 the way down she states that Parker Brothers were a customer. More than likely from customers that requested the Kautzky single trigger.
I had the great pleasure of meeting her and her brother Rudy in the early 60s and saw the "K" the first X grade engraved gun ever made. It was an early A grade gun that was sent to Fox for a re-fit of the ejectors. He shot the first ever 200 straight with this gun and they sent it back with a new stock and forend as well as the X grade engraving.It had a huge gold inlay with the letter K on the trigger guardI also saw Josephs 16ga hammer gun built by hand, stocked and engraved by the old master himself. And yes he did invent the Lazy Ike, probably more walleyes caught with this lure than any other. A friend of mine ownes the "K" gun and sent it to me for inspection a few years ago. I asked if I could shoot it. It was a magical 32inch gun that pointed out the clays and I ran all 25. It was the gun, the shooter, however poised ,just held it. I hadn't seen the gun since the meeting with the Kautzky family in the 60s It had been sold to Fort Dodge collector Bob Glazer who has since passed away. I wish I could have bought her, as she is magnificent.
