Does it have a three piece fore end ?
I think it is a Model 200e - but, I am no expert on Merkels, others with more knowledge will be along shortly.

Can tell the lower "half" of the 3 piece by the large mating flats next the barrel channel in the forend photo. Can also see the mating surfaces of the upper slivers a few photos later. Looks to me that it has the right amt. of squiggles to be exactly what Postoak says it is.

Specifications? Bored small, choked tight. What's it worth? Seen a few 2K+. Gave 1500 for one made late sixties. Presumably volume of use (or abuse) and resulting condition (percentage remaining finish exterior, condition bores and mechanicals) has some bearing.

I would say value wise I agree with Jack 1500 sounds about right.

Hello out there,
I appreciate everyones input. I am sorry that I did not get to see the responses sooner but when I checked on Tuesday evening, the site was down.
From what I have read, I have a model 200E and the value is in the $1500.00 range.
Does that '70' on the ejector mean that the chambers are 70mm long?
Once again, I thank everyone who responded.
Thank you,
Pete

70mm chambers; choked, proofed in 9/1957; has the highest quality mark(Q1) stamp on the left side of the rear lug; has the Gebruder Merkel stamp, Austrian Boehler tubes( http://www.bohlersteel.com/english/b_277.php ) and an interesting "Wolchlot???" stamp under the steel type; has the symbol of Suhl being a shield with an ore tub in the form of a footprint with an axe/hoe/pick; Kersten lock-up; probably made of mostly pre-WWII components. Kind Regards, Raimey rse

Hello again,
Is the addition of the recoil pad a plus, minus or neutral?
I appreciate the information Raimey.
Thank again,
Pete
