Thanks Chief and Geo for your replies.

I thought with the serial number it would be cross referenced to the model of the Merkel O/U. I could then at least narrow it down to the value per condition of the model and year made.

I do not have the Merkel. I wanted to find out more before I decided to purchase it.

The orginal information I posted was all I had.

Am not a Shotgun O/U guy. Mostly custom 1911's, Modern Revolvers Colt and S&W and few longuns (lever action, bolt, AR and I do have a Rem 870.

I know with a serial number I can get a lot of informaion with the firearms I mentioned above.

Should the Merkel make it home I will then post some picks and I am sure you will then all chime in.

Thanks for your help.

Steve
