Is in great shape for being made in 1938 AFAIK
Looking forward to learning more about it.

Re: JP Sauer & Sohn 16 gauge
I would definitely consider one if I ran into the right configuration.
Very well built guns, easy on the eyes too.

Re: JP Sauer & Sohn 16 gauge
I'm not sure what it's choked at.
I haven't checked that aspect yet.
The sideclips and Ivory bead was configuration enough for me....lol

Re: JP Sauer & Sohn 16 gauge
This is the first Sauer I ever picked up and it is lite.
I actually just received it tonight and was happily surprised it has two Ivory beads.
If anyone would like Maybe I could post other pictures tomorrow

Re: JP Sauer & Sohn 16 gauge
From appearances in your pics that gun has seen very little use. Hope you enjoy it!

Re: JP Sauer & Sohn 16 gauge
My pleasure
I picked it up from a friend about 7pm last night.
Didn't get home until midnight.
It was cold so I put some oil on it and realized the case colors looked dim because the gun was dusty.
I haven't really gone over it at all yet

Re: JP Sauer & Sohn 16 gauge
Very nice. Well-built guns. If you ever get the chance to view/handle one of their high grades (F-45 or F-60) don't pass it up. Most are exquisite and share some striking similarities to our beloved Foxes.
On the whole....I'd rather be in Philadelphia....
