J Nowotnę in Prag - 1897 dating Single Shot Rifle
      09/12/23 05:59 AM

Recently purchased this J (Johann) Nowotnę in Prag marked single shot rifle with a firing proof from 1897, caliber designation being 6.4mm. Similiar action rifles are listed in the 1910 catalogue, though might not had been made by himself, rather purchased abroad. This particular action btw reminds me a lot of the Krnka action as used for Russian rifles.

The bottom of the barrel carries a scripted stamp which I would read as JN, for Johann Nowotnę, as the maker of the barrel too. The 1897 firing proof IMHO is Czech, but tough to make out the number in the Eagle Breast.

Attached are some pictures. Would appreciate any comments whether others have seen similar action Nowotny single shot rifles. Also I have no clue on the particular caliber, so educated guesses would be welcome.

Thanks!
