I had a 12 gage O/U Merkel model 2001E a few years ago that I sure would like to have back. It was a gift from my wife. I thought that with dove season open hunters would be checking out their guns and could check to see if Merkel # 020212 was in their care. If it is I would love the chance to get it back. I hope that you will check if you shoot a Merkel and send me a pvt. message if you have it. Thanks!
