Here are some pics of a J.P.Sauer that I found recently.It is a 8x57 in super condition.It has most of the case colors still on the bolt,bolt stop and shroud.

WVFred,
Beautiful rifle! The traditional style stock and the octagonal barrel make this a handsome piece indeed!
Is this a J or an S bore?
Good hunting and thanks for posting!

What a beauty, Fred. I have a Sauer very similar to that, although the safety is longer and there is no cheek piece. Mine is a .318 bore which has seen more use, but it is one of my favorites. Enjoy your find. They're great rifles.

Mehul,
I haven't checked it yet but I'd say it is a .318 bore as it is an earlier gun.
Thanks
Fred

Oh, now that's a sweet one!!! I've got one similar that looks to be the same vintage. Mine's a J or I .318 bore. I love the way these early German Mausers feel and carry. Today's American custom gun/2x4 builders could learn a thing or two from the elders.

nice gun ,theres a pic of one that was once mine in petrovs book.definetly not easy or cheap to duplicate and it would be hard pressed to find a contempory gunsmith that could execute it in pure germanic style....paul
