JayCee:

Thanks for the info.

Geno:
I thought the same thing and after several a$$ chewings from Mr. Cate and reading and re-reading Sauer catalogues, there had to be some desingation for craftsmanship above and beyond the normal as well as something to denote shooting performance. If I'm not mistaken, during the pre-WWI period examples are seen with 2 crowns, and others with one or the other. If there is an example with the Crown, or Crowns, with the word "Prussia", it might make a better case.

Kind Regards,

Raimey
