This Merkel 132 was just sold at today's Morphy Auction (April 11, 2023). High bid was only $6,000. With bidder's premium that puts this out the door at a little under $7400. Quite a lot of rifle for that price in my opinion.

I love the engraving. Build quality isn't quite as high as the Merkel previously owned by Cpt Curl and currently owned by Dale discussed in this thread (http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=108125&an=0&page=4#Post108125) in that the later (1931) rifle does not have chopper lump barrels and lacks the horn trigger guard, but it does have disc set strikers.

Is it fair to say that proof marks of St.m.G 13gr represent the same proof load as St.m.G 12.5gr? or is this proofed for a slightly heavier jacketed bullet? (I'm referencing Capt.Curl's note in the linked thread that the standard regulation load for the 8x57r is a 196gr bullet and is noted with a proof mark of St.m.G 12.5gr)
