Thank you Oskar for your posting instructions. I'll try to show the barrel flats. Regardless of who made this gun, I'd still like to date it and learn more about it. I can take pretty good photos.

lc12,
The 16 ga has 65mm(2 1/2-2 9/16")chambers and both barrels are choked(likely pretty tightly) and I think it was made between 1912 and 1923.As usual, I could be wrong about the date.
Mike

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
