Are Merkel Doubles in Safari Calibers still being made/imported?

[Tiger2001]

Hello fellow AH members!
I am hoping someone can shed light on this topic as I am at a loss as to what has happened to the Merkel double rifle offerings. New models in large DR calibers seemed to have dried up in recent years. You will find an odd one for sale here and there (used) but no one seems to offer them as NIB. Even their office in Bessemer, AL is closed. I am writing from Germany and trying to get information on these models here hits a brick wall. You can find their O/U B3 and B4 models for sale but not the 140 or 141 models. Please let me know if anyone has information beyond what I have been able to locate and thank you in advance! Happy holidays to you all!

I can put you in contact with the importer here in the states. He is based on Mobile Alabama. It’s called T and G imports.
