Owned a 1950s Merkel 200e 16 gauge for a while. Shot it as well as any gun I've ever owned, but foolishly sold it. It was different from the Brownings or the various Italian guns. Not necessarily better, but a wonderful gun I'd like to have back.
I bought that gun from you and it was a magnificent specimen. It was stocked too high for me and it was too nice to mess up with alterations I just couldn't do it. I did take a few pheasants with it and have a picture of it and two beloved past dogs taped to my safe. I sold it to Larry B.
