Yes, the Bührings purchased the Eduard Kettner concern. Robert Freidrich Bühring led the charge followed by Karl Georg & Dr. Klaus Bühring.

Too, Andreas Kloster was involved in the Clever concern followed by Wilhelm Hommelsheim. A factory indeed in in Porz-Urbach as well as a Zweigniederlassung in Danzig.

Seems Wilhelm Hommelsheim was @ the helm of the concern Engelbrecht Clever, Nachfolger.

So, Wilhelm Hommelsheim had the reins of the compagnie whilst the name >>Engelbrecht Clever, Nachfolger<< was roll stamped on the top of the tubes:

Fantastic. Was he on his own or was he an employee of Kettner or other?

It could have been an opportune time but Andreas Kloster was in there somewhere. I wasn't sure if Wilhelm Hommelsheim was an employee of the Eduard Kettner compagnie or not.

Not sure, but possibly Egnelbert Clever obtained the business from Wilhelm Hommelsheim?? Then circa 1897 Clever hitched his harness to the Clever & Kettner concern? Then in 1912 Eduard Kettner absorbed the Engelbrecht Clever Nachfolger company in 1912??? Yet to be sorted.....

I would be very interested to know when Engelbrecht Clever Nachfolger ceased selling guns, it would help me date mine which hasn’t been possible for me? I have 2 of them with serial numbers 10 digits apart. With the Belgium markings( bore and choke notation style) they were thought to be 1910-1923 also both have 70mm original chambers, marked so on barrels? Obviously I will keep digging and let everyone know if I find, but you guys are much better than I at this.
