All three were Olympic shooters with Niels winning five medals in 1912–1924. Their fame as competitive shooters helped raise the popularity of their business – Schultz & Larsen rifles were traditionally known for their accuracy and were in high esteem among Danish marksmen. The factory was an expansion of a gunsmith workshop. Schultz founded the workshop in 1904 and hired Niels Larsen in 1910. Following the Treaty of Versailles plenty of German machinery was sold abroad for scrap. Schultz and Larsen acquired a suitable set for manufacturing rifles and started producing small caliber target rifles. Later in the 1920s–30s the company also acted as an important subcontractor to Theodor Bergmann's German company, among other things they produced the MP35 submachine gun and the gun barrels to the MG 15 machine gun. In the mid 1930s Hermann Gerlich used the factory in his work on anti-tank projectiles, which was hampered in the Nazi Germany. Schultz & Larsen were relatively inactive during World War II, with the Nazi Germany controlling the factory and closing it in 1943. In those years the factory mostly repaired small arms and produced RPLT 42 carbines for the Danish coast guard; much of those weapons were stolen from the factory by the Danish resistance movement. 12 Gauge SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Metal Condition: Very Good Wood Condition: Very Good Bore Condition: Very Good Barrels: 26 3/4 Weight: 7 lbs Item Location: Lacey, WA |
