Can anyone tell me where I could find info on a doublegun
that I have. It is a Kettner double O/U with a combination
20 ga and 6.5 x 56r . Very interesting gun. It has carved
Cape Buffalo horn trigger guard and butt plate. I can not
seem to find anyone that knows anything about this firearm.

Thanks

Mike

Mike, Kettner was/is a retailer in Germany. They bought guns and had their names put on them. They are an upper level retailer. They have a very good store in Augsburg. Most of their stuff is top notch. There might be some clues to who made you gun. Take some photos of it and all of the proofmarks and post them. Someone might be able to pick out something that tells all.

thanks Mike. I will try to do that today sometime.

not sure of the procedure to upload photos. Will work on
figuring this out today as well.

If you need to, email them to me and I'll post them for you. harrell68@acsalaska.net

Is it marked E. (Eduard) or F. (Franz) Kettner?

It is marked on the rib;

FIRMA FRANZ KETTNER, KOLN-SUHL

In taking the forend wood off, it is marked 6.4mm x 58

I posted earlier that it was 6.5mm x 56. I made a mistake

the receiver is engraved with 2 hares on the left side and a fox on the right side.
