Special order Merkel model 303E arabesque, 12 gauge over under shotgun, choked full and full with 30” barrels, hand detachable side locks, single trigger, auto ejector, low rise ventilated rib, factory perch belly stock, serial number 54635. The stock measures 14 ¼” to the end of the thin rubber recoil pad with a 2” drop at the heel and ½” drop at the comb. There is also a 1/8” cast at the heel and 1/4” cast at the toe. The wall thickness is .40 top barrel and .45 bottom barrel. The barrels remain in fine to near excellent condition with 95% to 99% plus original blue, the frame has slightly toned and shows original satin gray finish. The stocks show some slight wear and a poor repair using plastic wood right behind the right lock plate and should be fixed properly. This repair is approximately ¾” x ½”. Otherwise the stocks are good to very good. The trigger guard shows about 20% blue and loss from being gripped. The stock checkering is nicely accomplished and the wood shows a slight grain and this is a factory made stock on special order for a world champion shooter.
