I recently bought a 12ga Merkel O/U that I was told was a 201 prewar. Since it was stamped 752 on the water table I guessed it was made in July '52. I'm not sure what the model is. It has a case colored receiver with simple scroll engraving. It is an ejector gun. It is very tight and I would rate it a solid 95%. Most of the guns I have seen as 201's have been heavily engraved on the receivers. Could this be a 200? Some variation?
The gun is light and very handy . A very nice shotgun what ever it is.
