The West German (Eckernforde) Sauers used a somewhat modified design from the prewar guns. The basic Model 60 imported to the States did not have a Greener crossbolt. I've owned a couple and they're decent enough guns, although the workmanship isn't up to prewar standards. One thing I've noted on several of the West German Model 60's is a problem with the head of the stock. There are often hairline cracks, and sometimes it looks as if the wood is swelling up where it meets the receiver. Don't know if it was bad wood or bad fitting, and I expect a good stock man could solve it pretty easily. Otherwise, reliable guns.
