Frank Korn (Frakor)

[Garvin]

Very sadly I have to report that our friend Frank Korn (Frakor) in the Netherlands has died. He told me a few months ago that his stomach cancer was advanced and he had (bravely) decided not to go down the chemo route.

As a collector of vintage airguns he had few equals. Check out his amazing collection here:

As many of you know, Frank's kindness in sharing his huge knowledge of airguns was appreciated by collectors around the world.

His generosity was incredible. He would often send me things he came across that didn't fit in his collection. His skill as a gunsmith was also superb (eg. check out the repro stock HERE - second one down).

He will be greatly missed.

RIP Frank.

What a terrible shame.
Rest in peace, Frank.

I am very sorry to hear that.
He had an immense amount of knowledge and was always happy to share it.
Guaranteed if you were interested in a rare match rifle he had an example.

Rest in peace.
