Description:
SOLD PF *** This is a beautiful Merkel 203E from 1957 and it has the features that set it apart and make it a collection quality shotgun. And as you can see by the back wall of the standing breech this gun has been fired very little. Considered to be one of the best post war Merkels ever made it exhibits good balance and beautiful workmanship. The Kersten patent double lump extensions ensure a tight lock up. The Arabesque hand engraving on all areas of the gun is flawlessly executed and a wonderful example of old world craftsmanship.  The darkly colored walnut stock has gorgeous fiddleback on both sides and measures 14-1/4"  from the first trigger to the recoil pad. And the three piece forend is nicely made and perfectly checkered as well.  The 28" (72 cm) Bohler Stahl barrels have a solid raised rib with perfect bores and feature 2-3/4" chambers.  The barrels are choked Mod/Imp Cyl. It also has cocking indicators on either side of the frame so you'll know when the gun has been fired. And the gun features a hand detachable sidelock action. This is a fine example of the quality of Merkel's post war production.
