I'd have really like to have seen the Sauer, too. What a neat gun! Merkel, sidehack, tekel (in the oversize pocket of a long duster?)- sounds steampunk to me.

The teckel is likely going to be from some friends up in Concord - if the planned breeding takes place. I’m drooling over the Sauer – would have loved to have seen it.

Love the wood on the sidelock. M (& Doc): Ron Peterson once had a 16 X 16 over .30- 30 Sauer SIDELOCK drilling built for a New Englander early in the century, with bulino- level whitetail deer on one lock and ruffed grouse on the other. It sat there for years at $3000 while I pined. Now I know he would have let me have it on $50 payments, which is why I never let anything like that go by and why among other reasons I have a Grant hammergun. We mostly regret what we didn't do...

I've seen a few drillings advertised (but not in person) with a 30-30 rifle barrel. That would be pretty handy, too.

I was going after the 'ubiquitous ammo' checkbox - the fact that the German combo guns are almost always 7x57R puts a kink in it cartridge-wise. That being said, if I ever run across a prewar 16x16x7x57 that I can afford - yep, it's coming home. Drilling + kuurzhaar + teckel + goshawk + BMW R60 w/ Earles forks and a sidehack = vision of paradise. I like your druthers – way better than mine.

A Merkel drilling would be really nice, but make mine pre-war, 16x16x 7x57, if I had all my druthers. A little less metal, a little less weight! Fun post!
