Agree with Raimey that it's not a Model 60. Those were West German-made guns, and so stamped on the barrels.

Education time (for me): what do you see in this picture that leads you to make the statement above?

The pin (screw) at the top rear of the action.

But don't let that fool you:

>>Axel E. on the subject:

"See the screw at the lower rear of the action body? This is the fulcrum of the original design Anson & Deeley sear. It is in the bottom of the action body and engages a detent in the tumbler from below, close to the tumbler fulcrum. During the 1920s the Suhl gunmakers almost universally adopted E.Kerner's modification of the A&D lockwork. Kerner relocated the sears to the top/rear of the action. They turn on a screw located at the top rear of the action and engage a detent on the top of the tumblers, removed as far as possible from the hammer fulcrum. This arrangement vastly improved the leverage. As much less mainspring pressure rested on the sear detent, Kerner's top sears allow lighter and at the same time safer trigger releases. Secondary safety sears are unnecessary with Kerner's sear arrangement. "<<

L. Brown: >>That screw, located where it is, sometimes leads people to believe that guns with that design have intercepting sears.<<

I have a Sauer & Son/V L & D sidelock from Ca 1901 which has vertical sears pivoted in the middle. The upper end has the sear which engages the hammer at its outer periphery, I would guess about as safe a sear as one could find.

Also, all my Lefevers also have the hammer notch on the outer periphery.
