Another show,another gun.

[Cold Spring]

Josef/Joe Kautzky was in the Sporting Goods business in Fort Dodge Iowa and he ordered Fox guns for customers and peers who were active in Trap shooting as he was. He was an early Fox gun proponent and there are even mentions of the Fox Gun Club of Fort Dodge in period literature. Just because “Kautzky” is shown as your gun’s consignee doesn’t mean it was his personal Fox. With all that said the trigger selector slide on your gun APPEARS to be a prototype or early Kautzky design which he may have fitted to his or to a customer’s gun. It would be nice to see pics of its innards if you decide to take it apart for study.
