Lot #1465:
(C) SCARCE J.P. SAUER & SOHN BAER SUPERPOSED 4-SHOT PISTOL.
Designed as a gentleman's self defense pistol that was very flat and therefore concealable in his vest, this unique design features superposed barrels and a rotating magazine block allowing for 4 total shots. It is believed less than 300 were produced from 1899 to 1914. This fine example is chambered in the more popular .25 ACP, as introduced around 1906. Finished in brilliant high polished blue with standard legends. Half moon front sight. Operated with a nitre blued trigger and self cocking concealed hammer. Grips are 2-piece checkered hard rubber. Pistol retains its ejection rod which is threaded into the butt when not in use. CONDITION: Fine. Pistol retains the vast majority of its lustrous high polish blue with high edge wear, surface scratching, spotting, and a larger area of cleaned older oxidation on the right side of the muzzle. Grips are very good. Bright, well defined bores. Fine mechanics.
