Hi - I am in the Air Force stationed in Japan, where I’ve come across a lot of shotguns (mostly sxs and o/u) that you don't see much in the states. A recent find has stumped me, though. It is an o/u 12 ga with some pretty detailed engraving, and what looks like was a pretty nice stock at one point. It’s marked “B.C. My Luck” on the bottom of the reciever, and “Model OL” on the side of the receiver. The dealer says that this gun is sold as a Merkel in the US, was made in 1960, and has some collector’s value. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture.

At first I thought maybe it was an older Charles Daly (sold as B.C Miroku in Japan), but I can’t seem to find anything in the Blue Book, or anywhere on line to support either claim. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
