Stoeger Catalog Timeline - Clarification
NB: My typing capitalization and periods as taken from the catalogs.
Stoeger 48th - 1957
Page 34 SAUER MODEL 8 DES
Page 35 J.P. SAUER MODELS VIII & VIII E SHOTGUNS
Stoeger 49th - 1958
Virtually the same as 1957 but on pages 40 & 41. The only difference I can see is that 1957 show the MODEL VIII in 16 and 20 gauges only. 1958 show it in 12, 16 and 20 gauges.
Stoeger 50th - 1959
Page 46 SAUER KIM SHOTGUN ("The brand new....employing an improved version...Annson & Deeley. The heavy double underlocking lugs have been still further strengthened to eliminate the top cross bolt.")
Page 47 J.P. SAUER MODELS VIII & VIII E SHOTGUNS.
No mention of the SAUER MODEL 8 DES.
Stoeger 51th - 1960
Page 44 SAUER MODEL 60
Page 45 SAUER MODEL 60 DELUXE.
No mention of SAUER KIM OR SAUER MODELS VIII & VIII E SHOTGUNS.
Stoeger 52nd - 1961
Page 54 SAUER MODEL 60
Page 55 SAUER MODEL 60 DELUXE
Page 56 SAUER MODEL ROYAL

I believe Stoeger published only one (universal) edition per year.
Hope this helps to nail down the timeline.
