Are there surviving Sauer records for this drilling?
Any additional information about this drilling will be appreciated
A PM was sent in July 2020 to Jim Cate asking if he had any information. He has not responded.
Thanks!
Jim

Thank you very much for the better pictures.

The engraving is NOT from master Schilling, sorry..
The engraving its a work from karl recknagerl , he was also a master in the sauer factory.
On the 22.february 1939 was the start with drill the barrels.. the action its amde from master Jahn on the 12.4., the stock mits mdes from Br?ckner, and the engraving uts finis on the 4.1.1940

The finish gun was deliverde on the 18.1.1940. I know the gun from gunsinternational,

Also i saw this drilling first on a gun list from Bob Jones ca . from the year 2000.
(this was on the list the Nr. 656)
