BillK,
It won't be easy, but the triggerguard can be repaired so the break can't be seen. I'm sure you will be happy with it, when it is finished.

Thank you Mike. Gunter said he could fix it. I have faith on him.
The good news is that no amateur smith has messed with the gun since it was made, as evidenced by the condition of the screws and the stock inletting.

Gunter has done some work for me in the past, he's very good and works on some very high end stuff, you should be in good hands.
I have a JP Sauer hammerless sidelock from 1894 that looks like it may have the same engraving pattern from what I can see of the bottom of the frame. Do you have any pics of the outside of the locks?

Not absolutely certain on this, but as I recall Nitro Proof became mandatory in Germany in 1912. The vast majority of pre 1912 German built guns were not Nitro Proofed as a quirk in the proof laws actually submitted them to undue pressures so most makers opted not to have it done. The few that did normally stipulated a very light service load for the benefit of proofing.
My understanding is that the then current proof laws required the same proportionate increase of the powder charge for Smokeless as it did for Black.
When you start increasing the charge weight pressures rise much faster with Smokeless than with Black.
