........, were Sauers made between the wars highly desirable? If so, what was it about them that made it so desirable?
Well, they are 2nd in line as the Pinnacle of Perfection for the Anson & Deeley Body Action. Lindner Daly is 1st and Lindner paid the royalty for the APUN to an A&D representative, probably Francotte of Liege, while Sauer waited until the protection period expired for the novel advancement. View any Sauer Modell Nr. XIV, XVII or above(chase an 18 or 19) and you will witness quality to just ooze from the mechanical contrivance. For the most part, all the highly polished internal components are the same, just a higher level of adornment on the exterior plus suburb tube steel or some additional advancement. I can continue......
Cheers,
