I just bought the thing since it’s the only German drop lock I had seen in the flesh. Last edited by Jtplumb; 11/08/23 11:23 PM.

Will have to email Merkel it looks like made for an American with no sling swivels. Articulated trigger and checkered butt. 27.8 in barrels 14.5” lop IT FITS! Anybody familiar with these Merkels?
