J.P. Sauer & Sohn 12-Gauge Anson-Deeley Boxlock in High Condition Manufactured for Manhattan Arms circa 1900
Description: Sauer manufactured this 12-gauge game gun around 1900 for New York distributor Manhattan Arms. Sauer made the same model gun swith only cosmetic differences for von Lengerke and Detmold and for Schoverling, Daly, & Gales (Charesl Daly name). These guns were of higher quality and more expensive than the guns Sauer introduced a few years later, when it entered the American market directly. This gun’s Anson-Deeley boxlock mechanism is finely machined. The receiver, which is unadorned yet attractive, is in very good original condition. The nicely-figured Circasian walnut stock, which is refinished with a hand-rubbed stock-oil finish, is unmarred. The wood behind the locks is also very solid. The stock has a neutral cast and a 14-1/2-inch length of pull. The DAC is 2 inches and DAH is 3 inches. The 30-inch fine Damascus-steel barrels, which are flawless as reconditioned, have 2-3/4-inch chambers. The bore diameters for both barrels are.725 inches. The right barrel is choked improved cylinder (.010) and the left full (.035). The barrel wall thicknesses of the right barrel at 9 inches from the muzzle are (top/side/bottom) .028/.029/.028 and at the middle of the barrel are .030/.030/.030. Wall thicknesses of the left barrel are .030/.028/.028 and .032/.032/.032, respectively. This level of precision is rare and attests to the fine tolerances of German manufacturing 120 years ago. The gun weighs 6 pounds 14 ounces. The triggers both pull at 4-1/2 pounds. The gun locks up tightly and all serial numbers, 38440, match. The price does not include shipping costs paid by buyer. The inspection period is 7 days from receipt. This shotgun has been fired on the range and in the field on a number of occasions using shells manufactured by RST Corporation designed for use in Damascus-barreled shotguns. However, as for any vintage shotgun over 100 years old, it is recommended that the new owner have it inspected by his or her own gunsmith before firing, and then only use shells that produce pressures for which the gun was designed. The gun carries a 30-day warranty, during which Doublegun Preservation, LLC will have any mechanical problems documented by a professional gunsmith repaired or accept the return of the gun and refund the price of the gun and all shipping costs.
