Engraved Merkel Side by Side Double Rifle

This example has the date code "5AD" and was manufactured in May of 2003. The barrels have a brass insert blade front sight and a fixed rear sight. The rear quarter of the rib is raised and has places to install scope bases. The sides of the receiver, trigger plate, trigger guard, break lever and rear portion of the barrels have flourishes of floral scroll engraving. The bottom flats of the barrels are marked with the caliber "8x57 IRS". Fitted with a single non-selectable trigger, ejectors and an automatic safety. Mounted on a multi-point checkered walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with smooth plastic grip cap, hogsback profile buttstock and serrated plastic buttplate.

ConditionExcellent, 99% plus of the original blue finish remains with only a few scattered light handling marks. The receiver remains bright with a few scattered light handling marks. The wood is also excellent with a few scattered light marks. Mechanically fine, but forearm will not release.
