Rempt- Gebrüder Rempt-REMO

The following four images were found in Dietrich’s archive and were from Mr. Al Rickli. I believe this is not the same gun pictured above. This gun had two barrels, both 12 ga. , one 28 inch and the other 30 inches. It was proofed in 1928.

In the mid 1920’s Gebruder Rempt introduced a new gun labeled the Remo-K model which was a single shot break action gun in both Rifle and Shotgun. It appears in the 1927 Rempt Catalog with one barrel extension for the greener cross bolt lock up. Click HERE to see the 1927 Rempt Catalog.

Below are two pages from a 1932 Rempt catalog showing the single extension lock up.

Rempt also offered the gun with two barrel extensions as shown in the following 1934 W. Glaser-Zürich catalog.

Below we have a series of images of a 7x57R. rifle sent to us by Hartmut König of Germany. At the end of World War II it was the law that all hunting weapons were to be confiscated. His grandfather Hermann König who was head of the Bad Driburg Forestry Office reluctantly wrapped it in wax paper and buried it until it was again legal to own the rifle. That explains the pitting on the gun. The gun was proofed in 1937.
