Hello SxS fans,
I have been looking for that project gun to keep me busy in retirement. I found a Merkel last week with a broken stock. I could not believe what it went for. I have the Merkel147e 20 bore and like it. I also like the parker and LC Smith 20 bores. I just stumbled onto a 16 ga. Parker DH with unmolested 30" barrels and needs to be redone. the gun does have some rust. I do have a stock duplicator since the stock is broken. Does $750 seem like too much for this beater ?

GDR stands for German Democratic Republic, East Germany.

GDR stands for German Democratic Republic, East Germany. Having three Merkels myself, I'd say you did well at $750.00.

The "e" in 147e signifies ejector. If you can make a stock for it inexpensively, you got a steal on the price. A semi-inleted stock is currently listed on one of the dealer sites for $75.

it is a Parker 16 gauge DH made in 1921. I have never owned or shot the 16 gauge, let alone have any hulls for the darned thing. My post does mention more than one gun. Sorry for the confusion. i would think that with all of the gun laws coming out prices would start to drop on doubles but just not seeing it yet. I dont want to settle for the 16 when I would really like to find a 28 gauge for my project.
Thanks again
