Hello Steve,
If in your shoes I would contant Merkel Suhl (just google it) with the serial number and ask them about the model and when it was made. You should get their answer within a week or so (in my experience). Then tell us about their answer and you will get an accurate estimate.
If you want the answers faster give us some good photos.
With kind regards,
Jani
Jani,
Thank you for your post.
I did contact Merkel here in the USA. There computers did not cover that serial number range. I then emailed Merkel-Waffin and have not heard back from them. Since I was unsuccessful with those two attempts I posted here.
I hope to hear back from M-W in time. I will try to get some pictures next time I stop by the gun shop.
Once I get the model number I can then use my Blue Book of Gun Values and opinions from the gentlemen on this board.
Regards,
Steve
