GunsAmerica 976734463. Serial number 81453. Anyone have an idea when it might have been made and whether the quality at that time was any good? From the scope mounting it is apparently post World War II. I have seen a couple of prewar high grade Merkels and they were very fine. I like the fact that it is scroll engraved without game scenes. Any clues would be appreciated. | ||

Tis is top of the line for it's period, and I don't think the claw mount indicates post WWII issue. I have a rifle made in 1894 that has the exact same mount, and it is origenal to the rifle. The rings may be late manufacture, because many times the scope, and rings were lost! However I'm not sure I'd pay $11,500 for any O/U doube rifle, but that one is simply beautiful ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||
