Since the 14th century, craftmen in the town of Suhl, in the Thuringen forest of
Germany, have been known as
the world's finest shotgun makers. Those who acquired hunting guns made by
Suhl gunsmiths could be sure
of their quality, dependability, accuracy and exceptional elegance of the shotguns. The Merkel
is the family name of Merkel brothers who first industrially established over & under
shotguns in 1-
898. The Merkel factory grew quickly, and in 1914 the production line
introduced side by sides. The Merkel's
reputation circulated quickly throughout Germany and the world market, It is
said that many Merkel owners s-
till use guns made in the late 1920s and '30s and treasure them as highly valued
collectables.
And now, after the political
turn over of German unification in 1989, fine Merkel shotguns can be delivered to K-
orean market. Available in over-and-underand traditional side-by-side, the
Merkel shotguns represent an unp-
aralleled quality and value. Owning a Merkel means you can inherit fantastic
shotguns to next generation to
generation.
The beauty of a Merkel is more than skin deep. Qualities like cold forged
steel barrels, actions built to perfec-
tion and high strenth locking systems make Merkel shotguns an heirloom to be passed
down to generations.
