Thanks for the response 500grains. I had been looking for a post like this for a while but couldn't find one.

I was originally hoping to find one with some rust and scratches for $3k-$5k but I guess thats out of the question.

Recently there was a listing on gunbroker.com for A Merkel listing for $6900 opening bid, but I think they sold it.

Thanks Again,

PS: I asume smirkel is AKA as Merkel!
