I have a 1969 Merkel Freres in 12x12/9.3x74r from 1969 with Suhl proofs, superior grade and St Etiene and no GDR mark. My hypothesis is that the gun was sent to France for final proof and possible sale. I have no clue how it found its way to the USA.
Where can I ontain information on the Merkel Freres from Suhl during the commie period (1945-1989)?
Does anyone know why the drilling has the St. Etiene proof?
thanks
Doug
