More Information
The Sauer family has been closely connected with the development and manufacture of handguns of all types since the 17th century. The firm of Johann Paul Sauer & Son (J. P. Sauer & Son) stands for innovation from tradition.
The most comprehensive book ever written about the hunting & sporting weapons made by J.P. Sauer & Sohn in Suhl, Germany.
At one time the company employed around 2500 employees, but WWII changed that drastically. Miraculously, much good information from before the two world wars survived, so an interesting array of documents has been included, which gives the reader a graphic, as well as factual, insight into the history of this great gunmaker. Very few quality illustrated books on Germans sporting goods makers exist. The Sauer book is a remarkable exception.
