*SCARCE J.P. SAUER WWII NAZI LUFTWAFFE DRILLING.

*SCARCE J.P. SAUER WWII NAZI LUFTWAFFE DRILLING. SN 337614. Cal. 12×12/9.3x74R. Fine Luftwaffe drilling with 25-5/8″ bbls, silver bead front sight and articulated folding 100m rear sight. Bbls have the maker’s name around each chamber end and also with the type of steel. Top of rib is marked with the rifle caliber. It has Greener crossbolt rib extension and extractors. Bbl flats are marked with the shotgun caliber and “65” which indicates 65mm which is a 2-9/16″ chamber. Bottom of rifle bbl has the date “12 41” indicating manufacture in December, 1941. All the bbls have Nazi eagle “N” proofs. Bottom of rear lug has a drooped-winged eagle inspector proof. Right side of the right shotgun bbl is stamped with the Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika in its talons. It has a double-scalloped boxlock receiver with sideclips, Greener crossbolt and three cocked indicators on the top tang. Top tang also has the thumb switch to transfer the rifle bbl to the right trigger for firing, which also articulates the rear sight. Right trigger is set. Left side flat of stock has a Greener thumb safety. Both sides of receiver have the maker’s name. It is mounted with straight grain European walnut with checkered splinter forearm and semi-pistol grip stock with raised side panels and color case hardened metal grip cap and a shallow cheekpiece, 14″ over a Sauer & Sohn logo embossed hard rubber buttplate. Right side of buttstock is stamped with a large Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika in its talons. Weight is 7lb 13oz. These fine combination guns were produced in moderate quantities and were installed in aluminum cases in German military aircraft for survival weapons. They were equipped with a sling, rifle & shotgun ammunition and other accessories. Given the fact that most of Germany’s aircraft in WWII were destroyed in combat, few of these fine firearms survive today. Unfortunately, the case and accessories are no longer with this fine gun. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus, all matching. Bbls retain about 99% strong orig blue with only faint sharp edge wear. Receiver, trigger guard and buttcap retain virtually all of their brilliant case colors, thin on the trigger guard tang. Forearm has a hairline on each side of the tip, otherwise wood is sound with the forearm retaining about all of its dull orig finish and the buttstock also having been lightly cleaned, but not refinished. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bores, probably unfired. 4-39075 (12,500-17,500)
