I don't know where you hang out, but the gun shows around here and in Vegas are full of them....for the electronic toilet (computer) viewing go to GunBroker, do a "smartsearch" and look up a seller who uses the name "lbf", without the quotes...lbf, he always has six or eight of them for sale, mostly the late 20's and 30's guns....if you want something special...suggest you "ask him"....go get 'em padre....

All 12's and my friend wants a 16 ga only, but IMO, none of the guns you listed are in the same class with the one originally spoken of in this post. The wood and engraving just don't measure up.

118973544 is a 16.....119061378 is probably the best of the bunch for 700 bucks, but 12 ga...I think if one refinishes the wood on any of those old Sauers, the WOOD would look "better" than the overpriced 12 that started this thread...but...TO EACH HIS OWN...!!!!

Hi all, just want to thank all of you for your responses. I really was not going to bid or make an offer on this gun. I did notice some of the "problems" a lot of you pointed out. I just wanted to get a few second opinions so to speak.
I always learn something here and once again you did not fail to educate me.
Again, thanks!
All the Best!

There are certainly some questions I'd ask about the Sauer that started this thread. That being said, comparing it to the 16ga mentioned on gunbroker . . . that's a gun that needs a total "facelift", wood and metal, to make it look as good as the gun Greg posted. Forend may well be a replacement. (I don't see any indication of checkering.) It's likely an extractor gun vs ejector, and it's a lower grade gun to begin with. Comparing the two is like a beat-up Sterlingworth to a nicely redone Fox AE. There's a reason for the difference in price. . . not to mention that the guy selling the gun Greg posted knows how to take photos that really show you something. (Bad photos can hide a lot of sins.)
Here's a personal recommendation: If you're looking for a good, basic used German gun, keep your eye on Mark's Born Again Birdguns (one of the advertisers here on doublegunshop). His prices are reasonable, and Mark is a talented gunsmith who makes sure his guns are right before they leave the shop. His inventory is a bit low right now, but that's because he prices guns to sell--and they do sell.

Larry, Thanks for the kind words. My inventory is not as low as my website reflects. I just don't have the time to keep it as up to date as I would like to. Unfortunately I don't have anything in a German 16 at this time. American, Spanish and Belgian yes but no German 16s.

A friend, Ken Buch, imports many nondescript Sauers, Merkels, and Huskies from Sweden. Unfortunately, he has plenty of customers for them and doesn't have to put them on his internet site. I prefer a nicked up, slightly tarnished gun with very low mileage to one that is shined up after a lifetime of heavy shooting. Ken's website is kebcollc.com He is in MD.

Why did Fritzie strike word PRUSSIA when the gun was made in THURINGIA?  I mean Suhl and Zella-Mehlis are not located in Prussia. Is this some kind of Baron Rollo von Grandmaster concept?  Another thing is some of them "Pruky" guns have crossed pistols monogram struck on them while crossed swords of the Teutonic order would seem so much more appropriate, no?
