Description:
A Gebruder Merkel Suhl, 12 gauge over and under side lock shotgun with two sets of 28' barrels. The action body and both sets of barrels with matching serial #'s 55564. The high grade side lock action body and plates are engraved as follows: the left side startled pheasants in foliage with dog and landscape. Right side startled ducks in flight with dog in foliage and landscape. All beautifully relief engraved in the German manner, hand detachable lock plate, retaining most of the original grey hardening finish on the action. The figured walnut stock with pistol grip and standard cheek piece, horn butt plate. Fine condition overall, stock at hand appears to be approximately 141/2' of standard specifications; action is naturally an ejector system. The bores well greased and seemingly in fine condition. Single trigger mechanism. Barrels in excellent condition overall retaining all their original blue, the locking bolt tight probably due to inactivity in storage. Action in working order
