Gun ID?

[Steve Kleist]

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.

Looks like a graded Parker single barrel trap gun to me

[Brian Dudley]

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?

[Steve Kleist]

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.

[James L. Martin]

Merkel or similar type, my guess

[Mark Ray]

Tells everyone what I know!! I see now that there is no Parker resemblence.

[Bill Davis]

I’ll bet it’s a Belgium O/U! Maybe a guild gun.

[Bill Murphy]

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.

I'm still going with German. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say it's a Merkel 201, or possibly 202
