Just to prove how serious I am about doing this early war book, I've started a small letter block collection- mainly the G and K letters.
Here's a recent aquisition, and probably tough to find. This makes a set of S/147/k rifles for me, and fits perfect with the book Bruce and I are working on, especially since I am doing the JP Sauer chapters.
This is a great example of an all matching early S/147/k - note the differences as compared by photo to sn 4724. Both are RFV marked guns, both are similar condition. Also, notice the Wa49 proofs on this one. I actually expected it to have a different first position proof due to the fact that it doesn't appear that JP Sauer made receivers- this one doesn't prove that out. The whole Wa49 discussion is another subject, but this might be a good time to start that discussion. There are several guys on here that have been following that for a lot longer than me, so this rifle should give them some good info. Here are the pics! The last 2 are comparison photos to sn 4724.
