hi,

i would like to know more about Kettner coln Guns, does anybody know about this beautiful weapon? i do not know whther i have spelt the name of the gun corectly, my friend owns one Shot gun which has this inscription on barrel & has triple barrel two SxS barrels of 16 gauge & one 8 mm barrel underneath. i would like to know whther anybody has similar gun or knows about it?
whether ammo is avialable for this firearm?
i was intersted in purchasing the same, what will be the estimated price for it. i know without picture it is diffcult to ascertain the price but it is not being used for last 12 years( not handled) .
so condition is not very good but gun can be bought in condition.

hoping for positive reply on this.
links, photos,will be of great help for me to decide.
thanx
ranger

Ranger: Without good clear pictures of the gun and the markings on barrels and barrel flats nobody on this forum is going to be able to help you identify this drilling. Unless someone with a crystal ball joined recently. There are many 8mm cartridges, the majority obsolete. Unless the gun is marked as to case length, only a chamber cast will tell.

Kettner was a gunsmith and retailer in Koeln/Cologne, Germany. There is still a company under that name dealing in hunting arms, supplies, and clothing. I doubt that any of their records have survived.
