The catalog was from the early 1930s. The 200 is listed as having line engraving. The 201 is listed as having English style engraving (no mention of game scenes but it could have been special ordered).
It appears that the Hallowell photos are Merkels made post WWII as if shows a superior quality mark on the left side when the action is opened.
Thanks to all who replied. The gun is most definitely a 200E. It is at a bargain price but the loose forend, cut stock and Pachmyr pad, and excessive chokes in a 2 3/4" gun would make it useless to me.
