Kettner 16 Ga hammer gun finally arrived from Mr. Gunter Pfrommer and I had a chance to shoot sporting clays with it today. It performed flawlessly, like a magic wand, to the astonishment of some observers equipped with modern over-under guns. Mr. Pfrommer did an excellent job bringing this fine old gun to its original glory. I am extremely pleased with how well it turned out and how it performed. Cheers to these old guns that still provide us pleasure and memories some 110+ years later. Below are 3 links of the gun I posted when I first purchased it so you compare it to what it looks now after the work has been completed. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=460933&page=1 http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=461335&page=1 http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...Post463418BillK Last edited by BillK; 03/05/17 05:40 PM.

OP BillK Sidelock Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 272 Likes: 3 Chicago, Illinois	Thank you gentlemen for your comments. I believe the consensus was that J.P. Sauer built the gun for Ed. Kettner. We do not know for sure the true circumstances. What I like about this gun, (besides the steel barrels), is that the short hammers are below the line of sight when cocked and it felt like shooting a hammerless sxs. I have also included the 3 forum links of the previous postings related to this gun at the beginning of this thread. BillK Last edited by BillK; 03/05/17 08:47 PM.

For those of us who place great value ( emotionally ) on the skills and quality ethic of all those men that worked each piece by hand prior to the advent of our modern technology, it is a joy to see these artistic " tools" restored to their original grandeur. Good for you ! I hope it brings you ( and your descendents) much satisfaction and happy days in the field. Best regards, JBP
