Merkel / Richard Fischer Jr. 16ga, 30" Left-Hand Cheekpiece, Double Triggers

Description:
Exceptional German-built side-by-side retail-marked “Richard Fischer Jr.” (Merkel pattern) in 16 gauge with 30" barrels. Left-hand cheekpiece and 3/8" cast-on make this a true left-hand game gun. Double triggers, side-clips with crossbolt, cocking indicators, color case-hardened action and solid concave matted rib. Excellent overall condition.

A high-quality German-built side-by-side finished in the Merkel pattern and retail-marked “Richard Fischer Jr.” This 16-gauge example features 30" barrels finished in a deep blue with a solid concave matted rib, fixed chokes (Modified / Full), and a color case-hardened action. The stock is a round-knob semi-pistol with a left-hand cheekpiece and a 3/8" cast-on, providing a true left-hand fit for left-handed shooters. Double triggers, side-clips with crossbolt, and cocking indicators add robustness and classic European detail. Overall condition is excellent: the action is tight on the face, bores are bright, the rib matting is crisp, and the finish shows only light handling marks consistent with careful ownership.
