Thanks, JBP. I sent Mr. Beach an email. Thought it was possibly a special order? Pretty excited since it fits!

Perfect. Thank you. Especially the pics. Makes it dead obvious. I figured it was something like that. Much prefer the aesthetics of the round top.

This would be my round top Sauer sidelock. I have noticed that compared to many other guns, the top is very rounded.

Anyone know what this number represents? I found another VL&D Sauer with same date and number in .410 gun looks very similar except missing overhead sears. It was a model 180?

I am not sure but the area is used as a palette for mechanics' marks & sometimes modell numbers. I would hasten to wager it is some process mark or liability mark??

My 1927-28 VL&D catalog came in today, gun pic and description is dead ringer for 280 except it came with Krupp special vs this guns Krupp Essen. It’s a 280 next one down was 180 total different gun.
