For $150.00, I would snap it up.
Still have my Herter's .401 Powermag.



This is a Hawes in .45 Colt.




Yes , made by the highly respected old world firm of J.P.Sauer & Sohn , Germany. They were well made but a bit , odd , in some design aspects.The original Virginian was indeed made by Hammerli but later Dragoons were made in Virginia by a company owned by Interarms.
