Description:
Rare Pre-War Merkel 12 Gauge – Special Order with 32 1/2" Barrels
An exceptional example of German craftsmanship, this rare 1926 Merkel 12 gauge shotgun was a special order build, showcasing custom features and precision rarely seen even in high-grade pre-war doubles. The build sheet (included in photos) confirms extensive attention to detail, most notably the long 32 1/2" barrels, high level engraving and carefully selected straight-grained, highly figured wood.
The game scene engraving is of the highest German standard—elegant and sharp throughout. Features include:
  • Single selective trigger
  • Double underbite locking system with two additional Kerstan lugs
  • Cocking indicators
  • Tapered rib (.340" at breech to .255" at muzzle)
  • Side rib elimination near the muzzle to reduce forward weight
  • Chambers: 2 3/4"
  • Bores: Mirror bright, both at .720"
  • Chokes: Imp. Mod. (23/1000) lower barrel, Full (28/1000) upper barrel
Excellent stock dimensions for field or clays:
  • LOP: 14 3/4"
  • Drop at comb: 1 3/8"
  • Drop at heel: 1 3/4"
  • Weight: 8 lbs. 3 3/4 oz.
This is a collector-grade, yet highly shootable Merkel—rare, elegant, and built for performance.
