Franz Kettner had shops in both Köln (Cologne) 1850 and Suhl circa 1910 until WWII.
Eduard Kettner of Köln (Cologne) established in 1865 with a factory in Suhl, I’m not sure when they stopped making guns. This company was in business a few years ago with retail stores in more than one German city. Not sure of the relationship between the two but both are listed in the early years as gunmakers.
I can see the one picture just fine,(nice looking gun) take off the barrels and take a photos of all the proof-marks on the barrels and the action please.

thank you Reb for posting the photo. What would this combo gun be called technically? Would it be to obvious? Combination Gun
The person I got it from called it a game gun. Used for hunting camp meat for safari, game hens and or small antelope like Spring Boc.
I will work on getting more photos to post. This photo above was taken with the closeup setting on the camera.

Back to this double combination gun. I have an acquaintance that has been wanting to purchase this firearm from me for a good while now. How would I be able to estimate the real value of such a firearm? I would consider parting with this gun but like a lot of people, do not want to find out after the fact that I sold a $25,000 gun for $5,000.

I suspect somewhere around $16-2200 for value,used to be able to find them around 1000 but they have bumped up a bit.

Nice gun, but it's simply not a $25,000 gun, not even a $5,000 gun. IMO Dave K might be just a tad low with his estimate of value, but not a lot. Perhaps $2,500 or so would be my opinion.
