I hope the Krupp three rings markings on this 1950 dated Sauer 12ga. mean they are pre-war barrels. The four olympic style rings on a 1958 Sauer 12ga mean a soviet steel. At least that is what I have read here. But think about East Germany just 5 years after the war. What a mess it must have been. But it's a nice utilitarian gun. Straight English stock, a little over 28" barrels, both a few ounces under 7lbs, and both lock up tight. The 1950 has thick reddish varnish like I have seen on some Mosin Nagant rifles. I like them and find them very interesting. I always want more! Sorry for the large pictures it's been a while since I posted pictures.
