Gentlemen,
I have digged out something on the Kettner History. For their centennial anniversary in 1984 there was written a story on their history by a well known german journalist and hunter, Walter Henkels (may be Mike has known him?).First they were traders, later owning two facilities in Suhl and Cologne (Clln), after WW II they became traders again! Their own brand was "Rhenus" for guns and Drillings. The author described his first hunting experiences with a old Rhenus gun of his father.
I hope, those who are able to understand german can read the text in the images.
If not, I can send them per Mail on request.
BTW, the difference between the Kettners is written too.
Best regards,
Gunwolf
