Hi, Sauerfan.

I just saw your answer about the Sauer safety... Fielen Danke. There are two other things that I am told changed with the military specification Model 38H: I undestand early models were machined zinc alloy and later were pressed steel...and that the rifling was reduced from 6 lands to 4 lands. The former were apparently more accurate.

Do you know at what S/N these changes were made? I also note that yours has the rayon-fiber-reinforced grips, where the "rounds" are dull, rather than shiney and scratched.

Best...J-Stewart
