Can’t help you on the grade but that gun is enough to make me rethink my self imposed ban on buying 7 pound plus 12 gauge. Nicely done!

Looks very close in dimensions and chokes to my big Lindner Daly. Damn fine duck guns.

A very nice gun.
The filing of the action body is very similar to the Greener Facile Princeps action, although I see the front of the floor plate is squared off whilst the FP would have a rounded front end.
Does it have Anson and Deeley styled cocking levers or is there a central cocking arrangement?

S&Sohn Model XIV E. Very nice find as few round tops are found with the late date- I have a very similar one , a heavy , long , tightly choked waterfowl or pigeon weight gun, but cataloged by V,L&D as a model 280E , corresponds to a S&Sohn mo. XVII ( 1926 man ), but Not a round top action. The XIV did not come with the 3-ring “ Spezial “ steel barrels as the XVII model did. V, L&D did catalogue a mo 240 that might have come with the lower grade barrels , but these would normally come with extractors rather than ejectors as your gun has .Might have been a special order for an early round top action and fitted with the lower grade barrels with ejectors to expedite ?? Looks to be in very nice condition, wonderful find . I prefer the looks of the round tops, but no difference in performance. Mine has smote a fair number of green heads the last couple of years! Best Regards, JBP

Let us know what Abercrombie and Fitch says about this great gun.

Bob Beach still has access to the records but G&H no longer provide a service of purchasing photo copies of sales books. Mr. Beach kindly sent me some images of the record entries for my last 1929 mo 300e ( round top) I picked up this Spring. His email is: Beach@griffinhowe.com Best Regards, JBP

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a Sauer “round top”. I haven’t heard that expression before.

The detonators extend over the top of the breech ( kind of like a reinforced Webley and Scott action) on the left example, and on a “ round top” action, the barrel profiles blend seamlessly into the top of the receiver ( gun on right) , like the lines on a Prussian Daly ( as I’m sure you are familiar with 😊) Best Regards, JBP
