First, I'd like to see a pic of eightbore's boxlock 10 bore or some frame measurements to see if the frame dimensions are of a larger scale than the 12 bore, model 8, 14, or whatever it is. Some ground truth for the "discussion" is that in 2004 Mr. Jim Cate notes in his book that Sauer hammer drilling #118,735 was invoiced on September 21st, 1905 and that the serial number, price and description are on the invoice. Also, true Sauer A&D boxlocks look to be of post 1902 manufacture(someone feel free to correct me.)

Kind Regards,

Raimey
