Factory Game Scene Engraved Gebruder Merkel Boxlock Drilling with Zeiss Scope

Beaded blade front sight, flip rear sight, and Ernmatic patent scope mounts holding a Zeiss Conquest DL 2-8x42mm scope on the matted solid rib, bands of engraving at the breech, import mark under forend, 1991 dated German proofs, and chambers with extractors. The shotgun barrels have 2 3/4 inch chambers and chokes marked "1/2"/"1/1" (modified/full). The coin finished boxlock action displays light scroll engraving, a roaring red stag on the left side, and a trio of pheasants on the right. The gun features cocking indicators, double triggers (front is single set), and tang mounted safety and selector. Nicely figured, multi-point checkered forend with engraved fittings and pistol grip stock with raised cheekpiece, black grip cap, rear sling swivel, and rubber recoil pad. Length of pull 14 3/8 inches. Weight 8 lbs. 15 oz. (with scope).

ConditionExcellent, retaining 97% plus original blue and 99% original coin finishes, minor handling evidence, and a few tiny pin prick spots. The cheekpiece shows some marring; otherwise, the wood is very fine with some minor scratches and dings and overall crisp checkering. Scope optics are sharp. Mechanically excellent.
