I'm impressed at how many knowledgable gun "nuts" take the time to share so
much information with those of us who know almost nothing!
I've determined to buy the Sauer double in question. Raimey has confirmed it's
date thru his Russian Table (1897) and that it's a prussian. I bought it in spite
of the gauge (16) and 2.5" chambers because of it's exquisite relief engraving -
all surfaces, including full side plates - of animals and birds. It's a "doll's-head" receiver (not the most desirable, I gather), but in remarkably good shape for
it's age.
I'd love to share pictures of the gun on this website, but I haven't a clue how to do this. Maybe someone out there can lead me thru it.
