Yet another Gebrüder Merkel ATM(AUTOMOTO) has crossed my computer. This one is a Modell Nr. 210 w/ Sideplates. It was started in November 1929 and is a Kombo of 16/65 - 9X57R. All German Proofmarks on Boehler Steel tubes. What is most interesting is the Gebrüder Merkel Work Card for Nr. 17521. The scattergun tubes experienced proof w/ French Shotshells. The 9X57R chambered tube experienced proof w/ 3 grammes of Rottweil Blattpulver Nr. 5 and also w/ 3 grammes of French Powder BN3F.

Looks to have been commissioned by a Magasin Reims or Magasin in Reims. The Kombo now resides in Belgium.

Imgbox isn't working for now so fotos will be later.


Hochachtungsvoll,
