I enjoy the pre war German guns,terrific quality, I’m up to 7 now
Please do post pics,also barrel and action flats can tell dates and who actually made the gun, Kerner may of just retailed which is almost always the case for these guns. |

I buy solid guns for 6-800 and then have them restored 1-2k. Sell what I can’t shoot well and do over again, I haven’t been able to stop though, it’s a disease.
KGB you talking about this type?
I only have one of these but it is for sale on GB |

were you familiar with those makers before you bought or did you look for quality and take a chance they were a good buy? |

Don’t forget Belgium guns, they can be great deals also.
Some of the German guns were sourced from Belgium and merely finished in Germany.
These are Belgium sourced Record brand (scholberg Bittiner made) guns sold by German gun makers. Serial number 10 digits apart but 2 different German makers names on the ribs. One Clever other Kormes. Pre 1935 stuff is all over the place same with barrel steel. |
