They are marked GDR on the barrels. I found the finish (metal and wood) to be a tad less nice overall. GDR's simply by being made during that time frame seem to bring less money. IMO they are still good buys because the basic design never changed.
PS. Simson was also made in that same factory in Suhl and they are clones of the Merkel's in just about every way possible. They can often be found for a good bit cheaper.
