50s and 60s isn't post-war?
My goal before I retire is to own at least one rifle by each of the names listed in this thread, amongst several others.
Then hunt the hell out of them until I die.
My point is the gentlemen listed were practicing their art during that post war era! Ottmar came on scene in the 1970's fresh out of trade school, worked for Champlin and then opened his shop and plied his trade in his home state of Washington until his passing.
