Just because “Kautzky” is shown as your gun’s consignee doesn’t mean it was his personal Fox. With all that said the trigger on your gun APPEARS to be a prototype or early Kautzky design which he may have fitted to his or a customers gun. It would be nice to see pics of its innards if you decide to take it apart for study.
Hmmm. My Parker was ordered for a sporting goods company in Iowa if my memory serves me correctly.
