Axel E. on Suhl Production Numbers and final destination:

>>During the Soviet occupation shotgun production in Suhl was cranked up to high gear, more shotguns made in Suhl than ever before. Shotguns delivered to the USSR: In 1945 = 1593, 1946 = 21739, 1948 = 39961, a large part made by the former Sauer & Sohn factory. So the "left over pre-war parts" are pure legend. Until 1950 all the Suhl production was sent to the USSR as reparations.<<

I also read that I.P. Sauer & Sohn was removed from the Suhl registry?

Hochachtungsvoll,
