Gründungsjahr 1885 for A. Kleszczewski, Berlin SW. 68, Friedrichstraße 55.
No. 0125. Bügelspanner mit stabilem 3 fachen Rouxverschluß und verlängerter Kopfschiene, System-kastenwänden durch seitenleisten verstärkt, Ia Krupp-Rohre mit Chokebohrung, Signalstifte, Greener Sicherung, Rückstecher, Kugellauf mit feinsten Expresszügen, Kal. 9,3X72 für Blei- und Kupfermantelgeschosse; alle drei Läufe amtlich für rauchlose Pulver geprüft und beschosen.......
Paul Aegidius Kleszcewski hung out his gunmaking shingle in 1880 & was located in a couple Berlin addresses: Friedrichstraße 73 & 83. I wonder how he was connected in Berlin and how Kleszewski Erben(Friedrichstraße 55) or Angela Kleszewski/Kleszczewski-Witwe continued there till the beginning of WWII?
Cheers,
Raimey

Axel E. on Kleszczewski of Berlin:
"In the "Deutsche Waffenzeitung 1900 Kleszewski announced his revolutionary new see-through shotgun shells. I searched the following years up to 1909, no ad or mention at all of those celluloid cased shells. Likely production never materialized. Understandable, because it was a bum idea from the start IMHO. Celluloid is merely a variant of nitrocellulose, essentially highly flammable. You may even shoot with fine strips cut from old movie films used as part of the powder.
But I found some other things about Kleszewski: Until 1907 he constantly had ads offering jobs, often the same job as actioner, stocker or general repair man reappearing after half a year or so. From 1906 on for a Berlin location too. So his workers apparently did not stay with the company for some time.
And, in 1904 the "gun dealer Kleszewski" was sued by the German Gunmakers Association for unfair business practices or fraud. He had advertized with pictures showing a big factory with spacious shops swarming with workers, when his real company consisted of six persons and a small workshop in the attic of his house. "Der Waffenhändler, Ludwigshafen", notes in 1905: Bankruptcy of the gun dealer Paul Kleszewski, Metz."
I seem to recall a thread around here w/ a Kleszczeski(Berliner Waffen- und Munitionsindustrie) cartridge advert/image?
Cheers,
Raimey

Scratch that aloof image of a Kleszczewski shotshell as I was thinking of Tadeusz Jaruszewski of Poznzn.  Cheers, Raimey rse

Wow, that picture posted by Gunwolf looks just like it! Only difference is that the safety switch and cheek piece are on the opposite side...left handed gun in picture. You can even see the barrel indicator pins sticking up in the catalog picture!
