Factory Engraved Gebruder Merkel Model 147E Side by Side Shotgun

Blue steel, through lump barrels with single brass bead sight on a matte concave rib, chambers marked and measured at 3 inches with automatic ejectors, "GSI" marking on left barrel, improved cylinder/modified chokes, and standard German proofs on the flats. Bright coin finished box lock action with side clips, cross bolt third fastener, bushed firing pins, cocking indicators, single trigger with selector, and automatic sliding tang safety. The action is fully engraved with fine flowing scroll surrounding game bird scenes on the side with partridge on the right and quail on the left. Straight grain, checkered walnut pistol grip stock and forearm with engraved fittings, capped grip, and solid rubber recoil pad. Stock measurements are: drop at comb 1 1/2 inches; drop at heel 2 9/16 inches; length of pull 14 3/4 inches.

ConditionExcellent with 99% original blue finish on the barrels, light handling marks, and crisp engraving. The left side of the forearm has a very small hairline crack visible just ahead of the shoe, otherwise the wood is excellent with sharp checkering, and just a few small dings. Mechanically excellent.
