I acquired this Sauer Model 1913 in caliber 7,65mm while back at the SOS in Louisville last week. The collector I purchased it from said he acquired it out of an estate sale and that it had belonged to a retired Army officer a colonel or a general (can't remember which) Birdwell who had been a commander with the Army 101st Airborne from Fort Campbell. I will have to do some research when I get a chance.
This M1913 is an extremely nice condition specimen. It is all matching and I did not see any rust, corrosion/frosting inside or out when I broke it down. The barrel bore is in near new looking condition. I don't think this pistol has seen much of any use during its lifetime. The fit and finish of the metal parts is of the highest quality. The high polish blue/black finish is absolutely beautiful.
This pistol called out to me when I walked by the collector/seller's display. The razor blue finish of the safety lever was like a beacon flashing at me when I spotted it. I am pleased to add it to my collection. I will now be looking for a model 1930--I have a Behorden model but not in the fine condition of this specimen.
