Do you know if the SKB is a Turkish build or Japanese? Is it a 200E? If it is a Japanese built 200E 28 gauge, I would be interested in it if you decide not to buy it yourself.
BTW, while the Japanese built Ithaca 200's have a great rep, I would pass on a SKB 200 made in Turkey.

It's a 1961 Japanese 12ga.
I'll take another look at Merkels, I've been ignoring them because It seemed like a cheap merkel was 2500.
I believe Shrapnel is getting younger or his pictures are going back in time. That shop looks like a good resource. The gun you linked is the best looking gun there in my price range, to my taste anyways.
