I like the looks from the photos of the locks- but thought I saw some pitting around the left breech side, just past the firing pin hole- or are my eyes playing tricks on me--

I'd concur and also it seems that there were pretty stout loads pushed thru it. If I'm not mistaken there seems to be light images of the touchmarks found on the flats on the water table. I think the mirror image would be correct. But maybe too my eyes are playing tricks. But all the strikers look to be "ringed".
Kind Regards,

        "Manufactured for Charles Daly" It is a Charles Daly offering by the way. For some reason this Sauer dreiläufer experienced proof at the Frankfurt an der Oder facility(Crown over Gothic F & Troisdorfer powder) and I wonder if Collath, or some other regional firearms merchant, sourced it in the white from Sauer or vice versa? Seems to have all the correct inhouse Sauer marks for circa 1900. Looks to be a 0.303 British calibre. Kind Regards, Raimey rse

Any Oscar Sauer fans out there? Lacks any crowns or any Sauer marks. These images of a Blitz DR were forwarded to me.    Crown over N 2,45g GBP / StmG    Forge marks of K in Rhombus  Script H or K along with mechanic's initials G.T.  What's an Oscar Sauer fetching these days? Kind Regards, Raimey rse

I like it, Is that a 9.3x72R or 9x57R D/R made in 1919? Nice

Nah, I think it was made 1910-1913. Not sure on the cartridge just yet, but here are some reloads in the bullet trap.  Maybe The American can determine with his bionic eye? I do fancy the Gebrauchsmuster D.R.G.M. number for the innovation to the bullet trap. Kind Regards, Raimey rse

Most interesting 12 bore A&D boxlock whose frame was onhand in 1893 and whose owner apparently had Sauer make a new tubeset circa 1909 - 1912 with serial 148xxx(Note Nitro Proof). One interesting component is that it doesn't have the APUN number between the firing pins.       Posted for Dan & I may cross ref to the Daly thread as it appears somewhat similar. Kind Regards, Raimey rse

Raimey,
It would be better if one of the cartridges were outside the trap,but I'll give it a try. The cases have 30-06 military headstamps and I have a couple samples of 9.3x72R &8x72R cases that have been redrawn from 06 cases. Of the two choices above,I would lean toward 9.3x72R. I suspose it could also be 9x58 1/2R or 9.3x57R/360 but neither of these are as likely as the longer case.9x57R is unlikely because the cases are rimmed and swaging them to get a rim would leave the head dia.too small.
Mike
