320 euro plus shipment cost, gun is in germany

Gebr.Merkel 12ga Bockdoppelflinte with a east german Zeiss Zielsechs on claw mount, have seen very little use - action and scope mount 100% tight
proofed in 2/83, 12/70 2 3/4" chamber

620 euro plus shipment cost, gun is in germany

to making such a claw mount it cost me here 200 euro for the work alone today and I am very fortunate to get it for this price.
I would say shipment world wide is possible, we will investigate how when it happen.

Beautiful guns, really like the Sauer, be even greater in 12ga !

What are the rifle barrel calibers, or are they shotgun only, smooth or rifled barrels (I'm thinking smooth) ?

Wish you were a bit closer !

During GDR times the communists mistrusted their avarage hunters, in spite of having them checked alwys for political "reliability". Noone except high-ranking party officials was allowed to own or use a firearm with a rifled barrel. So most big game hunting had to be done with smoothbores and Brenneke type slugs. As much hunting was for wild boar to protect crops, a lot was done under low light conditions. Under such conditions you have to see the target before you can shoot. So it was common practice then to mount scopes on double barrel shotguns (no pumps or selfloaders allowed!). Zeiss Jena scopes and claw mounts were the only ones available.
