canvasback,
While you are waiting to find one of Jim's books, the GGCA has reprints of two Sauer catalogs, one pre WW1 and the other post WW1.
They are listed on GGCA's site under "Reference Works for Sale".

Sorry about that cback. Try searching 'Sauer Sohn Cate' or throw in 'Waffenstadt', and the book should show up with a double rifle depicted on the cover. It looks to be the same dealer at 'gunshowbooks.' If you weren't aware of it, you can also track down catalog reprint copies at Cornell Publications. It may not be a particularly collectable book, but likely only offered originally in a limited printing. I'd think with a little patience, a copy would show up at a better price, but something tells me you have your eye on a Sauer?

Craig, haven't pulled the trigger (so to speak) on one yet but my dalliances with German guns starting with my 1920's Heym 16 gauge and then my Lindner, have me looking closely at getting more. I may be repeating myself here but a number of weeks ago I was with CJO and were comparing the internal workmanship of the locks from a 1930 Purdey and a pre WWI Sauer sidelock that up here would sell in the sub $1000 range. The Sauer acquitted itself quite well in the direct comparison.

I think I will follow up with some of the offerings from the GGCA as the one copy I have found of Cate's book will cost me pretty close to $450 by the time I get it here. I can buy a Sauer for that kind of money. LOL
