Chief(LK), your post seems a bit terse or brusque. As I see it, there are 2 columns for Mr. Cate's response. One being completely wrong and the other that he holds a page from the coveted Sauer ledger with Sauer 106xxx on it, or something equivalent. If he doesn't hold the page, probability is not in favor of a 1910/1911 serialization as the peripheral or bounds data does not support it in the least. If one holds with sequential serialization, it being a form of a lump of steel or whatever was issued a serial number with the rest of the block in 1903/1904. It is possible that the subject Charles Daly - Sauer was completed in 1910/1911 but as Ken notes it doesn't seem to fit a specific modell and the thought process would be that it was in the initial shipment of upper/lower scear boxlocks. On page 95 Mr. Cate notes an Edward K. Tryon, Jr. & Company Sauer boxlock(same basic setup but not a scalloped frame and a house/inspection number of 260) with serial number 103221 and and also a 1910/1911 date but in his serial number list on page 284 he gives Nr. 103,221, Modell 11, as being made in 1903, which is closer to the truth since Edward K. Tryon, Jr. expired in 1904, if I have my history correct. Jeff Stephen's list and Mr. Cate's serial number list in rear of the book support one another in most cases and I think the difference to be between a serial number issued date & a completed date much like a patent that has a submission date and issued date.
Kind Regards,
