Upon 1st glance I don't see any either and the detail with the crown makes it the smaller of the set. However, there is some mark forward of the Sauer "S" ahead of the serial number which seems to resemble a "Caveman" with a "Staff".
Kind Regards,

You know, I've have to import the image but I can't say that the crown isn't the larger of the set. If the outer detail is as it appears, along with the cross(??) atop, it looks to be the larger of the set. The more I stare the more the crowns seem to multiply and change shape.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

Looks to me there are different crowns. The standard, most common one seems to be the top one in this picture.  The bottom one in the above picture is the larger crown, it has the appearance of "fur"on the top. The last one Geno shows seems different still, like the first but more elongated lobes.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

Yes, there is not doubt there are 2 different crowns. But it may be the stamping effort that makes them look different.

Geno:
You are somewhat possesed in your excellent hunt/effort and have confirmed in my mind what I thought prior to the thread. The large crown is for superb craftsmenship while the small crown is the extra effort in the patterning effort of the tubes. I'll see if I can locate the exact verbiage from the Sauer adverts.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

The large crown is for superb craftsmenship while the small crown is the extra effort in the patterning effort of the tubes. So what's wrong with superb craftmenship after 1904 at Sauer? I'm waiting for photos of Meisterwerk mod.18 made in 1925. As I remember there were only 1 crown.
