The year could be determined if you show us the proof marks. Sauer & Sohn is the maker, Suhl is the city where the maker was situated (before moving to West Germany post WW2). Simson was another maker from Suhl. It's a good solid gun but not worth buying at $1500 (IMO). With kind regards, Jani Last edited by montenegrin; 11/30/13 05:17 AM.

If the original receiver finish was color case hardened, and now shows plain steel, the value goes down. Also we don't know if the bores are pristine, etc. With kind regards, Jani
