Merkel Drilling Info Please

[Specializedjon]

Came upon an E.A. Merkel "Driller" triple barrel shotgun today. Trying to find age, value, quality. Did some quick internet searches, but they're not as educated as our group. Appears to be old and locks up tight. Below are some barrel marking taken in my truck. I'll take better pics tonight and post them.

Any info you could share would be appreciated

That's a beauty, you can tell it's well made! Is it three shotgun barrels, that seems odd, I don't know much about drillings, but the ones I've seen usually have a rifle barrel under the 2 shotgun barrels.

This one has 2 shotgun and 1 rifle under

It's a beautiful gun that my coworker is selling. He thinks he paid thousands for it, like $20K

I told him it looks fake and I'd give him $400

He didn't laugh
