Mike I Know!!!!! The seller repeats that the compartments are full of horn handles turnscrews, a horn striker pot, sterling silver three piece cleaning rod, and lots of jigs, brushes etc, plus a horn decocker. I was bidding in the gun 50% due to the case which I value close to $400, when I noticed that the gun was a 16, not the advertised 12. I informed the seller to confirm, and they said I was right, they had missed that, and was I still interested. I demurely indicated that that would be acceptable www the gun to be a 16. I would tell you all what I paid for the lot, but in the interest of decorum I will just allow speculation. Needless to say, I'm good with it!

I have a neighbor named Kettner.Claimed his relatives were high end gun builders. Would you check the name on your double. He would like to see one and possibly purchase one. Thanks, Jim

I dont have the gun in hand yet....but.....my research is leading more and more to a Kettner gun. It appears to be very high end, and in exceptional condition. When i get it, and if it turns out to be a Kettner gun, i will then decide if it needs to live in my collection, be a hunting gun, or will it finance future Parkers! I will pm you if it is the latter.. Thank your friends so much for their interest.

I'm not too sure about Kettner or Simpson. I'm leaning towards a guild gun based on the engraving and checkering. Perhaps a smith that had worked at one of the above. Very nice gun though.

1925 Suhl proofmark. At one time there were over 400 gun makers in the Suhl valley of Germany.
