Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Eduard Kettner Cape Gun

Merry Christmas Everyone!
To start this off, I'm not sure I'm on the right forum for this post, but I figger I'll start here.
My precious little wife surprised me with a Cape Gun last night for my Christmas. Beautiful little 16g x 9.3X72r. Fold down express sights. All metal surfaces are Heavily engraved. The wood has knockout figuring. Very Fine checkering. It's hammerless. On the Left barrel "Ed Kettner" is stamped. On the Right, "Coin Suhl", I think. I'd love to know something about this Cape gun. It has a 4 digit serial number. I just don't know where to look. Anyone with any ideas?

LtH,

Kettner is a retailer in Germany, similar to Cabela's here in the US. They have catalog sales as well as retail stores. Your gun sounds very nice and was most likely made by one of the many gunmakers in Germany specifically for Kettner.
