This stamping effort in 1947 looks as if someone wanted you to think that Sauer made steel with the "S"s in the rings and J.P. Sauer & Sohn in the band where Krupp Fluss Stahl is usually seen. I've seen those stamps on the lugs on Merkels and I'm curious if they are related to pattern counts?

Kind Regards,
