eddoakley Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Anyone have/ever had one? Just picked up a sideplate this morning and although not quite what I was expecting and had quite some life by the looks it certainly seems to be top quality. Never had a sauer shotgun so just wondering if anyone has any info..... Thanks Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddoakley Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Is that the standard German style anson deely double underlug with a Kirsten cross locking bolt? That sounds about right. I will try to post a few pics tomorrow as it's put away now and I have to go out. Just interested to know people's experience. It was offered to me a week or so ago and I must admit I expected something a bit nicer but I bought it anyway. A quick look on GT shows only one box lock so not really anything to value it against either.... Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IEH Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 My late father had one for many years. Fairly plain but great quality, and despite extensive use I can't recall it ever needing any attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gooseman Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hello I have a J.P.Sauer 12 bore made about 1960 cheek piece on stock these were made in the east of Germany long before the wall came down if it was made pre-war its a good German gun the proof marks will tell this most were made after the war like mine and are in fact very much in many way a Baikal even down to the fore end catch in saying this they are very well made and should with a bit of love and care last longer than most mine I use for pigeon all year round I have opened the chokes out but on a 16 they need to be a bit tight because of the smaller bore cartridge load about 28--30 grams your sounds like one of the better ones being a side plate try and post some pic of the proof marks please I all so own a 1939 German sault&berger of Hamburg re-proof in 1971 all the best hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you a link? The only one I saw was a box lock. Don't have it with me today but will take some pics of the proof marks etc tomorrow. Hopefully some general pics below: I looked at one locally recently they still have it for sale on guntrader. a nice gun seemed to handle well but I didn't buy it as I already have a 16 bore.
