Thanks L. Brown for the reply.
I have seen quite a few of the 200E 12 ga on-line going for around $2000-2850 range. The 201E I have seen on-line have been the Pre-WWII which seem to command a higher price $4,000-6,250.

I have not found a 201E in 20 ga in that year model yet. Did find a 201E 12 ga 1984 for $3450. Some Merkel dealers have told be the 20 ga demands about 10% more then the 12 ga.

The search goes on.

Regards,
Steve

L. Brown,

Looks like you got it right in the price range.

http://www.gunsamerica.com/920056527/Gun...uge_magnum.htm#

I have not been able to find anything close to my model of interest and manufacture date. I did find the above one on gunsamerica. It is 1963 vs 1988 12 ga vs 20 ga.,30 inch vs 26 inch and Pistol grip vs english straight stock. I have been told the 20 ga commands 10 % more. The 1963 does have a little better engraving.

I will go by the gun shop and see what kind of deal I can get on the Merkel 201E.

Steve
