OP 1armybrat Boxlock Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 4	Picked up this Pre war Merkel 16GA, beautiful gun but totally out of my realm of knowledge. I was looking for any information i could get and maybe a value. Also it came with bring back papers. I would say condition is about 88% [img:left]http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac334/xjbx187x/DSC_0202_zpsnn6ekbnm.jpg[/img] [img:left]http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac334/xjbx187x/DSC_0199_zps3l9jzrme.jpg[/img] [img:left]http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac334/xjbx187x/DSC_0192_zpsobddvs4o.jpg[/img] [img:left]http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac334/xjbx187x/DSC_0193_zpsdxftdr4a.jpg[/img] [img:left]http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac334/xjbx187x/DSC_0198_zpsphrjihzc.jpg[/img] Last edited by 1armybrat; 01/25/15 07:09 PM.

Merkel blitz action and not Gebr�der Merkel post 1912 & I'd guess in the early 1920s as I don't see a date stamp. The Imperial Eagle over Krupp Stahl stamp makes me think the tube steel was sourced from Liege. Kind Regards, Raimey rse
