Have looked a couple of times at a listing for a Merkel cape gun.Hammers, old looking, really good shapefor the age but doesn't look refinished from what I can see. It is marked E A Merkel and few real proofs or marks. Dimensions would lead me to think 40/65 or a german 10mm cartridge of similar dimensions.
The serial number is 11xx. I have seen a lot of discussions concerning the actual manufacturing dates of these, but would anyone have a ball park figure as to the approximate age?
Edit.
This is a hammer gun with very old style hammers.
