I would contact the factory with the serial number; I did so about my 1951 Merkel and they sent me the info from their records. Kind regards, Jani

Also, there is some descriptions over there about bottle neck case (from 24G to 28G)and .577BPE (?) I very doubt it was 577BPE. Seems under barrel been replaced for something unusual. Geno.

They'd rather spoil a gun then part with it. Yet, I can't help admiring the unknown person that managed to bore out a 28 ga paradox inside a rifle barrel, possibly in absense of a properly tooled gun shop, and under threat of spending a few years in a labor camp.
