New Member Question
I recently purchased an 1899 12ga. Grade 3, size 2, 30" straight grip, skeleton butt plate, splinter forend Parker. My letter states that it was ordered by Simmons Hardware St. Louis and shipped on June 21, 1899 to Frank Novotny in St. Paul MN. Google search found a gun maker Frank S Novotny with patents around 1902 for a shell ejector and single trigger mechanism. Also pictures of a very nicely made shotgun and a re-barreled Holland & Holland. Did Novotny resell guns or could this be a gun he used as a guinea pig?
