Fellas:
I failed to add the question of why in 1914/1915 did Sauer purportedly produce a top quality promotion gun for S, D&G as serial #167317? I think the answer is that Ernst Lindner was drafted and either Heinrich August Lindner embraced the possiblity of the loss of his son, who fell in fierce fighting against the Brits at the site of the Bellewaarde Spur Attack on June 16th, 1915 or he lost interest at Ernst's death. Ernst Lindner was born on July 6th, 1883 and should have been a master by the time of the 1907 S,D&G catalogue. If Heinrich August Lindner waited until the loss of Ernst, how could Sauer have produced a masterpiece so quickly, i.e., they were doing it already with Heinrich August Lindner assistance as a quality control specialist.
Kind Regards,
