FC Scott 1904-1919? Frederick C Scott appears to have commenced in business as a trade manufacturer in Princip Street, Birmingham, but he also sold direct to the public. He made fine sporting guns and rifles and specialized in pigeon guns. He made guns for Holland & Holland and supplied more No.2 and No. 3 Hammerless models than any other maker. He was appointed gunmaker to King Gustav V of Sweden. Frederick C Scott was almost certainly related to the W & C Scott & Sons families (W & C Scott supplied more guns to Holland & Holland than any other trade manufacturer). In the 1881 census William Scott was recorded living at 158 Victoria Road, Aston Manor with Mary Ann. Their son Frederick M Scott was still living at home (aged 42) and was still employed as a gunmaker. In 1909 the business was re-named Frank C Scott and it expanded into 81 Bath Street. In 1914 it moved to 67-68 Princip Street, and in 1915 the address was 65-68 Princip Street. In 1919 the firm acquired limited liability and became F C Scott Ltd. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 4818 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
