Boris,
Look at the listing under skeettx above first link. A footnote says that "J" was not used in dating them, only A through K.
Mike
Skeettx's other link shows something different for "Sig Sauer". Confusion.
Mike

I've seen other lists about German arms, as well as Sig, Walther, and etc where both I and J were 8. ....so yeah, this is very confusing.

Also in the links above, the Eagle-N stamp is supposedly last used in 1971. Which also conflicts with a "J" or 1980's date. Plus, the same site says this Kiel proof mark started in 1968. So maybe this was made between 1968 and 1971??

I wouldn't hold w/ the verbiage on the website, but rather consider what was used in practice & there are two images of Sigs w/ the letter J used in conjunction with the Nesselblatt of the Kiel proof facility.

Or maybe just ask these fellas:

This is a fantastic hunting weapon you have, the 7 x 65R is almost identical to the 280 Remington which means similar to 30-06 only slightly narrower bullet, 7 mm, you can easily order these cartridges on the Internet, unfortunately the values have dropped due The dumping of many of these fine German combination guns to the US due to the restrictive gun control and rapid destruction of weapons in Germany as we speak
You have inherited a true treasure and preferably you should hunt with it and pass it on to the next generation, in my opinion Whoever you inherited it from loved it and probably purchased it in Germany while in the armed forces as did I in 1982, so I have a Sauer drilling 16 gauge, 7 x 57R with a 22 Magnum rifle
insert and a scope it is my favorite gun!
You could probably sell it on gun broker for about $2500

Thanks! It is a beautiful firearm nd I look forward to using it. Thanks for the info.

I don�t have anything to add about the gun, but I did want to congratulate you on your choice of moniker for the site. Simply inspired.

Haha! Thanks.
