He sent me a couple more pics and says he can't find any other stampings on the gun.

Per makers name - it is my understanding that the "village" gunmakers often/usually did not mark their guns as they were sold into a very limited community and everyone knew who made the guns. For the maker to put his name on the gun might well be interpreted as vanity. Quality level was a function of cost and not of the maker's ability; everyone knew this. Gunmakers didn't envision there wares being packed off to America.

These guns are often incorrectly called "guild" guns, but are really made "for the trade". By this I mean they were made for other handlers who could then add their own name onto the gun. Most all the makers did this and if it looks like a Sauer, it may be a Sauer. Oftentimes they didn't have a name added; especially if it went to a small shop, instead of a large one like Waffen Frankonia or Ed. Kettner.
