Accoutrements for the Merkel

[Larry Stauch]

I ran across some accessories for my 1932 vent rib, 32" SST Merkel. There is a pair of 12 gauge chrome plated Merkel marked snap caps, a Merkel marked oil bottle and a 3 piece cleaning rod with brass ferrules. None of it has been used since it was new in 1999. Now I'm going to have to get one of the case builders to make a case that worthy of all these things.

No Jim, but I may do that.

Outstanding Larry !! Pardon me for asking but does the wood do all that beautiful engraving justice ?

Beautiful Merkel. Does the left barrel engraving include ducks like the right barrel includes pheasants?

As a matter of fact it does Scott. It's a poor picture, but there are ducks engraved on the left side of the barrel. I was at a gun show this weekend talking to one of the German gun collector members and he said Merkel didn't make a lot of these side x sides back in the day.

The forend is factory, but the stock is a custom after market. I'm going to try to get some pictures of what the stocks looked like on these guns during that time period and get a correct stock made for it. Probably easier said than done, but this gun deserves the right wood.
