Information on Buhag guns:
"Buhag" gun history can be a bit complicated because they're from East Germany before the wall came down. I found the following information on different sites:
BUHAG was a "cooperative" (uncooperative got you dead) that was set up by the communist East German government to watch over the production of guns made by the small shops in the Suhl area. The government handled the sales and shipping of all the guns becaue direct sales were illegal. Merkel, under the BUHAG name dominated as other big makers moved to West Germany, and most guns were really Merkel designs. The individual gunsmith that worked this particular gun was H. Kessel and he was from Heidersbach/Suhl. His name is on the receiver; I've attached a photo.
Here is a link to an excellent article regarding the Buhag: ://germanhuntingguns/archives/buhag-buehag/
Because this site doesn't have Buhag as a category, I was told that I should list it under Merkel Shotguns as the second category.
