It's a Bernhard Merkel 8x57jr double with ejectors and side clips. A bolted safety and very nice engraving only 7.5lb.I can't wait to take it out for whitetails this fall.

Congrats on the new add!
 
Wow.....very nice!!! I wish I could get one of those to follow me home.......without coaxing it with lots of money.
 
Nice looking gun. The 8 X 57 is very close to a 30-06 and we all know how effective they are on deer. Enjoy your new toy.
 
@wvfred, a good looking double rifle. Could you perhaps share a picture of the name? I have not heard of many Merkel’s with something else than “Gebrüder” in front of it. It looks very finely made.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
