I seen one sell on Gunbroker.com, not a Royal, and it didn't have ejectors, but otherwise was very simular to a J.P. Sauer Royal I recently purchased from the Cabelas Gun Room in Kansas City.

Has anyone had experience with JP Sauer sxs's? For some reason I feel an attraction to these guns, though I have never had one.

Pre-WWII guns are quite good as are other german guns from that time. I have got one in 12-bore, and it is a simple but well manufactured and well balanced gun. I would compare the qulity from this period with pre-war Winchesters. i.e. excellent.
You will find good information on this site: http://web.comhem.se/~u24326782/ It is the homepage of a swedish Sauer collector, mr. Haggårds.

I owned and shot one in 16 ga. for several years. It was a 1956 model, 68 cm barrels, choked full/full. Mine was plain, but very well made, very reliable. Metal to metal fit was quite tight even after 40 years. I sold it because it was time for something else with more open chokes. At least that's what I told myself at the time. Good luck.
