Parker GHE 20 ga Damascus $5,500.00
Built in 1912 on a #0 frame. The barrels retain much of their original Damascus pattern with good bores that show only slight fading. The rubber pad has been added, but the stock on this gun has not been cut and can be easily returned to its original state with the addition of a butt plate. Both the forend and stock have been professionally freshened. The engraving is raised to the touch, with 30-40% original case color remaining. Merkel Pre-war 201E 12ga $9,500.00
Pre- WWII 201E with fine arabesque scrollwork engraving. This shotgun was imported by A. F. Stoeger, Inc. The barrels are in good condition, with just a few handling marks along the rib and bright, shiny bores. There is one small area of pitting on the barrels near the Stoeger stamp, which appears to have abated and is neither deep nor broad. The receiver shows 40-60% case color remaining, with even stronger showings in the protected areas. The engraving is still raised to the touch, and the screws show little or no evidence of tampering. The wood is in excellent condition, with far fewer handling marks than would be expected for a shotgun of this era. All serial numbers are matching, and the action is nice and tight. This gun is ready to shoot, or will serve as an excellent collectible example of the pre-Berlin Wall Merkels.
