Johann Sigott, who was born in 1872 and worked in Ferlach, did not himself come from a gunsmithing family, even though the name Sigott itself and various variations appear in the historical records of Ferlach. Sigott, first a skilled gunsmith, eventually became a gun manufacturer and a member of the Ferlach cooperative of gunsmiths. In addition to his skills in the trade, Johann Sigott was considered above all a successful hunter. He knew how to skilfully market prominent hunting parties as well as the success stories of his clientele. The Sigott twist rifled bore was a technical feature of his manufacturing. After his death in 1955, the company was continued by his son Arthur Sigott until the 1970s.
