Gun ID?
1 Attachment(s)
I'd appreciate a little help identifying a shotgun. It appeared on the cover of the Fall 2018 Delta Waterfowl Magazine.
I "hope" to try to attach a scanned photo and a scanned close up. The gun held by James Ford Bell looks a little "Parkeresque" but I don't believe it is. There looks to be a single barrel and I doubt he would hunt with a gun like that. Does anyone know what gun this might be? Thank you in advance. Steve Kleist Ely, MN |
Looks like a graded Parker single barrel trap gun to me

Looks like a German gun to me.
|
Well, it's not a box lock over under and by the look it may be German.... maybe Merkel?

A close up.

The knobed front lug is very characteristic of European guns, and as someone said, possibly a lower grade Merkel or any of the many makers from the Suhl area.
|
Merkel or similar type, my guess
|
Tells everyone what I know!! I see now that there is no Parker resemblence.
|
I’ll bet it’s a Belgium O/U! Maybe a guild gun.
|
Considering Bell's net worth, it could be a Boss or a Purdey or anything, but the protruding lug suggests something else. The exceptionally long slim forend suggests Merkel or something else German.
