BTT, I will also entertain rifles with minor issues, a replacement safety or buttpad or some such. Thanks for looking.

In my hurry I overlooked the 27 under the bolt root etc, this rifle is numbered very odd for sure.. Has anyone seen Sauer apply an arbitrary assembly number to components before? Yours is near the earliest Sauer Mausers I’ve recorded, which are in the high 60k range. Sauer serials also float...

Sauer built on these very early transitional actions, I believe this is actually a model 97 action. Oberndorf serial 94, I have others recorded very close as well. The Sauer 70K series serial also agrees with a very early rifle. These early test actions were sold to other makers around this...

Bill, thank you sir! That sounds completely correct, I am presuming that is a Stoeger catalog number you have mentioned, though I am not positive. Definitely interested!

I know where you’re coming from and agree with that sentiment as well. However instead of making a baseless claim, I think I substantiated my claim fairly well, providing photographic evidence, information from my cataloging of JP Sauer Mausers for the last couple of decades, and asking for...

Hello, I don’t mean to be either, but if it looks like an Oberndorf in hand, then you have most likely proven my point. Sauer receivers have a bone charcoal finish until roughly the early 1930’s, well past the 200k serial range. At that point they switched to rust blue, and ironically this is...

It’s a typical production model from Sauer, they have a handful of general models if you will, that they produced, however I don’t know of any official distinction between any of them, their catalogs certainly don’t make any. Some were short barreled half stocked, most were long, and roughly 7%...

Thank you. If I could find a Mauser type S or M without issues I certainly would sell, however I haven’t seen one on the market in over a year that didn’t have some kind of issue as far as originality is concerned that’s why I’m trying to trade at current. The proofing on it is post 1891 I...

First off, I love this little double so I am perfectly happy keeping it, but I haven’t had a chance to load for it or anything yet. On the other hand I have been looking for a good Mauser Type S or M for a few years with no luck and considered this might be a decent trade or partial trade. I...

They are my favorite for sure. I’m also partial to Sauer, nice to hear about one still being used!

Thank you Gents and yes that is a beautiful Jeffery! Some wonderful rifles in here for sure.

Thank you! Yes sir, it sure is. It has a neat little two cartridge trap on it, I’ve not seen one that small personally. Flip up aperature and a flip up ivory bead front sight too.

How about a smaller one, a Scherping 9.3mm double

Looking forward to pictures. There is something unusual about your rifle and pictures of the proofs below the wood could really help understand what that is. Regards

It is a beautiful rifle, and with that cartridge I would be shocked if there were zero cracks honestly. There is a crack at the right receiver as well, this would be nice to see with the action out.
