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.

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