doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion German & Austrian Sporting Guns @ doublegunshop.com JP Sauer & Sohn 12b Hammergun, any idea of age?

I was doing some reading & stumbled across the following:

>>No. VKS(Modell Nr. 1906) Doppelflinte wie No. V aber mit L�ufen aus Krupp'schen Spezial - Gewehrlaufstahl amtlich mit ranchlosen Pulver beschossen.<<

So if a Modell No. V Sauer hammergun wears Krupp'schen Spezial - Gewehrlaufstahl(mit 3 Ringen) then it is a Modell No. VKS.

This also applies to the Sauer Modell Nr. I & II - IKS & IIKS.

By they way the Modells III & IV were cape guns or Biks, with the Nr. IV having 2 sets of tubes:

>>IV(Modell Nr. 1906) B�chsflinte mit Doppelflinten - Wechsell�ufen, wie No. III gearbeitet.....<<



Cheers,
