k: input from a variety of sources seems to support the following scenario:

- gun was made by sauer in the mid thirties

- receiver was engraved and perhaps restocked in Belgium

will never know for sure...

Those are two beautiful drillers. My old Sauer gave up "pretty" many years ago. However, I sure like the hammers and the three barrels of shotgun capability. When shooting preserve birds, I select the lower .410 barrel, cock and shoot. Recock and move lever to the left to shoot the two 16 gauge barrels. It happens way quicker than you think. A successful .410 shot on a big cockbird always draws attention from your partner. It is an interesting routine to practice on a skeet field, although I don't think I've ever done it. Your puller sends a single, then a slow report pair of doubles. I have shot skeet with a mix of 16s and .410s though. Unfortunately, you have to move the top lever between shots on doubles.

Bill, That reminds me of the day I took out my Otto Geiger, made by Merkel, with my dad. A nice plump cock went up and all I heard was 'click'. Instinctively, I pushed the selector forward, from years of double gun shooting.
My dad got the bird and all I got was a ribbing.
I assume you're shooting the .410s out of the 11mm barrel. Are they plastic wad .410s?

Bill's technique sounds only slightly more difficult than rubbing your belly and patting your head

Yup, the .410s are shot out of the 11.15MM barrel and they are plastic wad shells from my PW800.

I also shot 44WCF out of my 11.15 barrel with pretty good accuracy. Kinda like shooting CB caps out of a long rifle chamber.

Hmmmm... Can you shoot 410 slug in 11.15? I have the 11.15x65r in a hammer sauer as well. Never tried shooting the rifle.

Edgar, any particulars on the 44-40 you can share?
