Bernhard Merkel DR with script "BEMESU" stamp. It was at Bass Pro some time ago and I wish there was a pic of the marks to see if they point back to Bernhard Merkel.



1925 Suhler Waffenwerk(Suhl Weapons Factor - the name was adopted by Merkel in 1925) DR clamshell. So this may be one of the 1st to use the Suhler Waffenwerk name instead of Merkel. I'll see if I can find a Merkel thread to transition the info.

Seelig clamshell DR: http://rbsiii.com/collection/rifles/muzzelverschluss_93/muzzelverschluss_93.htm that might have some interesting marks?

Kind Regards,
