Your gun should have a date code on it.

German makers were using it for a while, at least back to the 1930's...

Post some close-up pictures of all of teh numbers/markings on the underside of the barrels. Like Bill said, a date code should appear. (IE: 8.27 or 8/27 would mean proof in August of 1927).

My Sauer hammer driller is 16X16X11.15X65. I shoot .410s out of the bottom barrel. It's a great little gun.

unfortunately, date code is not there. only the number 33 is visible. if this is sauer sourced gun, then 1933 fits with the serial number range...

Can you post a picture of the underside of the barrel? I can help.

My Sauer looks like the pictured gun, side lever to open, top lever to select. I have not tried a .410 slug.

May favorite turkey gun happens to be a drilling given to me by my father. He acquired it from one of his old turkey hunting buddies years ago. 16x16x219 zipper, hammerless. Nicely engraved, cartridge trap, light for a drilling and topped with a 1.5x5 Leupold varixIII. A turkey killing machine!!!

Ed,

I saw the picture of your gun on the site you sent. I could not see a date on the bottom but I think it is pre-war based on some of the other markings.
