Following are two advertisements from the 1895 Der Deutsche Jager.

The following images are selected from a 1928 Eduard Kettner catalog.

In the 1928 Eduard Kettner catalog on page 26 they show a side by side rifle with what they referred to as the E. K. Verschluss (Eduard Kettner lock up?). It featured a five point lock up – two under bites, a square Greener cross bolt in the rib extension and enlarged side clips extending from the breech of the barrels to engage a lug in the receiver balls on each side.

The following Ads appeared in the 1903 editions of the “Deutsche Jager Zeitung”.
