Not a virgin anymore ... but close
01/06/11 11:58 AM

Gents,

This is a not so often seen Model 32 Sauer double rifle chambered for the .43 Mauser (11.15X60R) cartridge, circa 1912. I had been keeping track of this one for roughly five years and last year the previous owner finally started thinking about letting it go. As the story goes some seven years ago the gun was thought to have been un-fired but since then its last owner and a friend of his, who also owned it for a time, have taken two black bear and a half dozen whitetail deer with it. I suppose I should see that as a good thing as now I won't feel so bad about putting a few rounds through it and perhaps whacking a critter or two myself. It's a little different from the norm (.43 Mausers) as it is proofed "Nitro" and regulated for a 18 gram (278 grain K.m.G (Kupfer mantel Geschoss) copper jacketed bullet. The rifling is the standard issue Henry style of rifling but with sixteen grooves that measure .439". There are few opinions floating around about this within a group of the German Gun Collectors Association folks but in the end I'm thinking it appears to be another one of those "who knows?" things as the makers of the day, not so unlike today, were rather accommodating to their customers wishes. My digital has not been cooperating with me in giving me a good picture of the muzzle as yet but when it does I will add it to the thread.

Regards,

Buchseman
