ENGRAVED German EDUARD KETTNER Double Barrel SxS HAMMERLESS Shotgun C&R
BEAUTIFUL Early 1900s GERMANIC 16 Gauge Fowling Piece
Here we present a C&R Eduard Kettner Double Barrel Side by Side Hammerless Shotgun, made circa the turn of the century in Suhl, Germany. These German shotguns are known for their quality of workmanship and unprecedented accuracy. This double barrel hammer gun would have been used for putting game on the table and protecting the homestead. This is a very Germanic fowling piece that is elegant with its intricate engravings in its simplicity and practicality.
This gun features a double trigger system. The early doubles used two triggers, one for each barrel, located front to back inside the trigger guard. The index finger was used to pull either trigger, as having two fingers inside the trigger guard can cause a very undesirable recoil-induced double-discharge. Double-trigger designs are typically set up for right-handed users. In double-trigger designs, it is often possible to pull both triggers at once, firing both barrels simultaneously, though this is generally not recommended as it doubles the recoil, battering both shotgun and shooter, particularly if it was unanticipated or unintended.
Discharging both barrels at the same time has long been a hunting trick employed by hunters using 8 gauge "elephant" shotguns, firing the two two-ounce slugs for sheer stopping power at close range.
The overall condition is very fine. Excellent action. Original finish. Mirror bright, smooth bores. Sharply engraved metal parts with floral and game scene designs. Solid stock with less than average wear and sharp wrist checkering. The rear sling swivel is absent. Markings are legible.
