Do you know what that one sold for, J.B.?
May God bless America and those who defend her.

My question exactly Stan.
This is the same one of which I was referring. MC had tipped me off to it......

It has all the hallmarks of being a German inland Modell Nr. 29 Pigeon gun in 16 bore??

I had my hands on the one that Raimey and JB posted above. Spectacular gun, but a lot less than the 64K post on the one discussed earlier in this topic. Mark Beasland had several Sauers and I was shopping, but I went another direction. I do have a soft spot for Sauers since a fairly plain between the Wars Sauer 16 was my first classic sxs. Before I knew better, I had the chambers lengthened to 2 3/4" on that one. Used it on pheasants with 1 1/8 oz Remington Express loads. Other than a broken link between top lever and Greener crossbolt, that gun survived all those heavy loads without any issues.

Interesting. Do you think it indeed was a Pigeon gun?
>>Chokes may be opened to your choice at time of sale for $50 per barrel .<<
This sentence, coupled with the term >>chamber<< always makes me cringe.......

Gents, I bought the aforementioned 16 ga Sauer; supposed to pick it up today at my FFL. I don’t know what grade it is because it is not an export gun, but made for the German market, based on no ‘Made in Prussia’ marking on water table. I have a orig. S, D, & G catalog from 1907, and it matches up to a grade 60, without the gold( thank goodness). Interestingly, the catalog only lists 26” and 28” bbls. available on 16 ga. export models, but this one has 29 5/8” bbls. with concave rib and 6 lb. 1 oz. weight; most definitely not a pigeon gun, but a game gun. Hopefully, I can post some pics later, and maybe someone can tell me exactly what model it may be. Sandlapper

Hum, with those long 75cm tubes and other additions, it would sound like a Pigeon gun but I think they were in 12 bore only???
So, that would make a Modell Nr. 18.
