My story is not quite so happy. My grandfather bought a new Sauer Royal around 1962. When he died, my uncle (his only son) took it. He had it in his possession (abused) until he passed away 2 years ago. Shortly before he died, we made a deal and the gun would come to me. Well when he died I could not get it through his daughter's thick skull that the gun was to come to me. I have no idea where it is now and want nothing to do with that nincompoop!!
