I have a Sauer 1913 that is the better part of a century old and with the exception that it is missing a couple parts (done intentionally by previous owner not due to wear or failure) and it is in damn near perfect shape and function. As was also said it is even sporting some form of plastic grips which have held up just fine.
This certainly wasn’t sealed away out of the factory and went through at least one war and was a family memebers CCW / All around Gun for many years.
So based on the fact a fairly well used Gun stood up to the century mark I would imagine you example would last HUNDREDS of years no issue.
