I had a high grade Sauer years ago with the finest checkering on a gun I have ever owned. It was 32 lpi on the butt and 28 on the fore end. The 32 was verified with a machinist ruler by a gunsmith that was showing me how to measure checkering. the wood was nice but not over the top like some exhibition stocks I have seen. The pattern was lovely and the gun was superb. One of the few guns I have sold that I wished I never let out of my sight. It was as nice as any Daily double of the same era. But family and bills had to be taken care of first so it went to a fellow in NJ. He is now dead, my gun is in some collectors safe and the money it brought is long spent. Sad ending for such a nice gun. Perhaps I come across it again.
