I picked up the J.P. Sauer double I purchased. Barrels have the Marks for first proof, second proof with examination, smoothbore proof, and choke barrel proof. Serial # 995xx. Water table is marked first proof, and second proof with examination. On the right barrel is stamped 106 T and is stamped not for ball (nicht fur Kugel) Barrels are marked fluid steel left, Krupp essen right.
Barrels are 28 1/8th inchs. It is a sideplated boxlock round action. MAximum width across the frame is 1 3/8ths ". At the pin it is under 1 1/4" wide. Double underlugs, and greener crossbolt. Theris a tiny silver medallion inlaid on the engraved front lug where it shows thru the action. Rebounding Hammers. Only case finish left is under the top lever. Barrels ring like crystal, blue 70% . The forearm is numbered to the gun and is 8" long and very thin.Completely checkered with a i/16" border all around. 26 LPI.The action is 1bout 50% covereage with scroll engraving.
Total weigt is 5 pounds 6 ounces. Lop to front tigger is 14 and 3/16ths". I assume the 106 is the date made January 1906?
I can't find any serial number info to nail down the age of this old girl. I would appreciate any help the experts could give me.
The stock and action are packed up, ready for NEXT DAY SHIPMENT to Craig Libhart at Susquehanna Stockworks this morning for the wrist to be repaired. I would appreciate any information that could be supplied to me.
