I looked at a very nice Merkel 16 gauge today. The 16 gauge was made in October of 1941. I will soon own this shotgun and will post pictures at that time.
The wood is ornately engraved with no animals or hunting scene. 100% scroll engraved. Not sure of what model this is but I’m sure that once pictures are posted the members from this forum will be able to tell me.
My current questions are how many Merkel were being manufactured during this period? Since the war was raging on I would have thought that almost all manufactured would have been going toward the war effort.
I am also curious are there any surviving Merkel records?
Merry Christmas
