VERY CLOSE TO NEW, UNFIRED J. P. SAUER MODEL 30 LUFTWAFFE DRILLING WITH CASE. J.P. SAUER 30 DRILLING 338001 12x12/9.3x74 MODERN; C&R Cal. 12 ga X 12 ga X 9.3X74R. Typical J. P. Sauer Luftwaffe drilling has Sauer markings around breech ends of 25-5/8" bbls and sides of case hardened action, also decorated with sprays of scroll. Bottom of rifle bbl is stamped with 2/42 German proofs and rear lump with Waffenamt "L2". Luftwaffe eagle is on right side of right bbl and also stamped on right side of buttstock, which features right hand cheekpiece, steel grip cap, and "SSu" (Sauer Suhl) embossed ribbed horn buttplate. Drilling is housed in its orig aluminum case with leather handle, marked "Drilling M 30 mit Munition u. Zubehor". Interior of case has typical felt gaskets, is stencil marked with contents on lid, and contains orig cleaning kit in black cardboard box (components new/unused), instruction booklet, very rare shooting (shot pattern) record, and leather sling. PROVENANCE: Ex-Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. Prestigious and lifetime Parker and Winchester collection of Dr. Tom Bouwkamp. CONDITION: Near new, appears unfired. Metal and wood have only a few light scratches and marks in all of their orig finishes, with some discoloration and light pits at muzzles. Bores are excellent. Rifle bore is coated with what appears to be its orig grease, but rifling still visible and mint. Exterior of case has considerable loss and scratches to its orig paint. Leather handle has some loss to top grain, but is otherwise fine. Interior is excellent, all gaskets and blocking intact. Cleaning kit box has some chips and compressions from contact with left fence of action. Sling is a bit dry. Instruction booklet is excellent. Shooting record is slightly foxed and creased. Undoubtedly one of the finest examples of this important military weapon in existence. 52170-38 MGM60 (20,000-30,000) case, shooting record and instruction booklet
