Sauer in-house process marks & pattern welded tube type.

This gun is advertised as 12 ga 70 mm but barrels are marked cal 18. Breech end of these Damascus barrels look super thin. I guess if they only opened the chambers one could chamber sleeve( or just drop in gauge mate 12-20) to 20 ga and shoot away.

Cal 18.1/18.2(mm)(Belgian) is the diameter of the pattern welded tubes as finished or similar. I doubt original chambers of 70mm, but it is possible now? It wears both of the Sauer Quality Crowns so it was a best quality & was verified / checked @ the Sauer range.

Thanks. Thought gun was interesting but didnt like the caliber mark and thought 70mm was questionable for a 1890s or earlier gun. Would look really nice after cleaned up. We shall see soon.

Beautiful gun though.

Transitional mechanism very similar to the Manhattan that has the mainspring mounted on the lockplate, alone, if I remember correctly. The inverted L pin configuration gives it away. On the standing breech is a plate that houses a long thin spring that keeps the firing pins forward, if again memory serves me.

I'll look.....
