A lady from Merkel answered my email today saying that my rifle was made in 1935. She also said that it is Model 221E.
So the pace of production was a bit slower during the depression years I guess.

Thanks Jani for the info which will give us some ground truth/correction in guessing a Merkel O/U date. This would be just short of an inquiry to Merkel to get the actual info.

Kind Regards,

Hi Everyone I'm new on this forum, I just bought a Merkel sxs the serial number is 746053. It was made in 1975 and sent to Sweden. If anyone is interested I went to the Merkel web site and contacted there support to get that info.
They are very nice and I received the response in just a few days.

Proofmarks are easier to find on a Merkel sxs. No 3 piece forend to remove. They will include a date number/code on guns made after WWI.
