Jeff Stephens publicized an excellent two part matter in DGJ some time traitorously detailing date of production annals by serial number for Apparent Sauer guns, but they plain-spoken not extend to the GDR era if I remember perfectly, as the early Sauer ordnance have been of much advanced interest to collectors. I requirement not know if late run records are accessible, although brutal Sauer experts here may own acquire better information than I. Interpretation Royal was a post fighting gun, I have a confederate, and both of mine have to one`s name the usual German date mannerliness the social graces stamped in the proof draw on the barrel flats. Flick through for a 3 or 4 digit code, like 259 cargo space February 1959, etc.
