Merkel Info
 

Anyone know where I can info a Merkel O/U.The grades,manufacture dates,etc..
Thanks in advance.

Try the German Gun Collectors web site.

There's an article on the different O/Us in the Winter 2013 issue of Double Gun Journal. Very nice O/Us IMO, I'd love to have one of the high grade versions, but fairly expensive.

Thanks I'll look at it.
Nice gun I found today.I think its made in 1936.Real tight action with ejectors,indicators,engraved with good barrels.Its been used just can't seem to get my hands on something thats been in a closet.Thats what happens hanging around a bunch of hunters.

Hallowell also has some information on the merkel O/U grades http://www.hallowellco.com/tradition...kel_grades.htm.

There was an article by Peyton Autry in The American Rifleman, July 1975, Page 19, on high grade Merkel over/unders, 303 and 304s.

Found out it was manufactured 1936.It has 30" barrels full/full,12 ga 2 3/4 chambered.Nice engraving and stock other than the check pad on butt section.Real nice action with ejectores,indicators.Handles nice I'll put some pictures up tonight or tomorrow.

I don't know how you do it but many thanks for all the contributions on the many different forums you post on. You truly amaze me.:bowdown:

Here are a few pictures of Merkel.Looks like a 200e which gun is in good shape except the butt stock.
