I have a JP Sauer & Sohn Chief Marshal Serial Number 044316 or 0443/6 or could be an 8 at the end I'm not sure. I'd like to figure out the date it was manufactured and possibly a value. I've attached some photo's
While I can't tell you anything about this particular model, I can relate my experience with a J.P. Sauer and Sohn .22 rimfire revolver, if that might be of any help.
It was my first handgun, purchased in 1971. It was a Colt SAA replica, had fixed sights, and a zinc alloy frame and cylinder with a steel barrel and cylinder liners. Made in West Germany. The condition in 1971 as I obtained it made me think that it had to be as much as 10 years old.
Your revolver seems in excellent condition, but it may also have been produced in the 1960s or 1970s.
A little research indicates that Hawes was the importer.
One of these in .44 magnum sold for $325.00 from an on-line company recently.
I had a 44 mag in the early 80s and my Dad had a 45 Colt in the 70s. Both were well made guns. When they show up around my neck of the woods they bring $300-$350 in great condition like the OP’s.
My first single action revolver was the same as the one you had: a J.P. Sauer Western Marshall in .22LR with a .22 Magnum cylinder. It was full size and had the zinc alloy frame with a black finish to it and white plastic grips. Don't remember what I paid for it but bought it sometime in the late '70s.
I think the Herter's .401 Power-Mag was pretty much the same gun as J. P. Sauer's Chief Marshall. It had a larger, upswept top strap that protected the adjustable rear sight, a ramp front sight, a slightly smaller size hammer spur, and oversized Rosewood grips.
