Hi,
I am a new member trying to find out some info about 2 guns I recently acquired. I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about guns but these 2 are definitely outside my knowledge base and I can't seem to find much out there regarding WWII Merkels. Here are some pictures and info about the Merkel:
-I believe it is a model 243
-It is 12 ga
-The serial of 27527 is blank concerning the purchaser's info at Merkel. Every serial number around it is logged with buyer's info except this model.
-Previous owner thought maybe a German higher up had commissioned it due to the lack of buyer info
-Has been restocked
-The unique engraving is most likely custom

Thank you for your help!
