Looks like an early Model 2 Sauer. H.A. Lindner, or Georg, may have sourced the parts from Sauer and hired Robert Schlegelmilch to assemble it all. That is if he was old enough to fit the time period. Does the standing breech have a screw and a removeable panel to access the striker springs? Could you give a closer pic of the pin configuration on the left side?

Also on the inside of the lock of Sauer Models 2 & 5 ahead of the mainspring pin a stamp of "Crown" over "EB" which I guess to be either Engelhardt Barthelmes, Ernst Barthelmes(1854-1930? Zella St. Blassi & Zella Mehlis) or Emil Barthelmes.

Kind Regards,
