Craig, haven't pulled the trigger (so to speak) on one yet but my dalliances with German guns starting with my 1920's Heym 16 gauge and then my Lindner, have me looking closely at getting more. I may be repeating myself here but a number of weeks ago I was with CJO and were comparing the internal workmanship of the locks from a 1930 Purdey and a pre WWI Sauer sidelock that up here would sell in the sub $1000 range. The Sauer acquitted itself quite well in the direct comparison.
I think I will follow up with some of the offerings from the GGCA as the one copy I have found of Cate's book will cost me pretty close to $450 by the time I get it here. I can buy a Sauer for that kind of money. LOL
