Default drillings

here are pictures and description of mystery drilling:

SAUER? CUSTOM ENGRAVED? THIS IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN EARLY THIRTIES VINTAGE J.P. SAUER DRILLING, EXCEPT: THE WORD SAUER DOES NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE. AND THE FULL SCROLL ENGRAVINGS ON THE RECEIVER AND TRIGGER GUARD ARE NOT TYPICAL OF GERMAN STYLE ENGRAVING PATTERNS. THE BARRELS ARE 23 3/4" LONG. THE SHOTGUN BORES ARE 12 GAUGE WITH 2 3/4" CHAMBERS. THE RIFLE BARREL IS 8X57JR. WEIGHT IS 7 1/2 POUNDS. SERIAL #281XXX. OUTSTANDING FIT, FINISH AND WORKMANSHIP. HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THIS BEFORE. ANY INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Ed, the butt plate isn't anything like I've ever seen on a Sauer. I'm guessing It is a Simpson. Very pretty gun.

I think that is a typical "Sauer und Sohn" logo on the buttplate. I'll check my books later to verify...
