Sauer & Sohn Shotgun

[Rod]

This is not a military arm, so I hope I am not out of place making this query.

I have had a boxlock J. P. Sauer & Sohn Shul 16 gauge double shotgun for a number of years. Hammerless with double triggers.

Condition is not mint, but is free of rust and damage. In other words, used but well taken care of.

It has great personality with lots of receiver engraving, greenier side bolt, checkered forestock and also checkered back stock with side cheek piece. There are sling swivals.

The barrel is marked Krupp Laufstahl.

The serial number 254494 that appears on the trigger guard.

I am hoping a shotgun collector might be able to give some background information, especially year of manufacturer.
