I saw a gun marked as such in a pawn shop today and it piqued my interest. I thought I would easily be able to look it up when I got home, but all I have found after reviewing pictures and posts were references to the Charles Daly branded guns and a few others names that Lindner manufactured guns were apparently sold under. Furthermore, none were similar to the one I saw.
It also had a Jones underlever and an escutcheon forearm mechanism. The hammers were the very straight upright iteration found on very early hammer guns as opposed to later ones that were curvier (please excuse terminology). Original quality looked very good with excellent wood to metal fit and clean engraving.
Anybody seen anything like that before? Really wishing I had taken a pic, checked the proofs and taken down the serial number down.
It was mechanically rough - the Jones under-lever just flopped open and the extractor piece would not orient properly to close. Still hate to see a gun like that sitting on the shelf collecting dust. Would love to know more about it if anyone has any information. Who knows, I might pick it up as a decorative piece next time I am out that way.
Thanks!

Dan...What was engraved on the rib?
Was it priced like a wall hanger?
perhaps a fixer up'er if cheap enough?
If you manually pushed the extractors in, would the Jones lever work then?...sounds like broken guide rod on extractor
Snap some picks next time.
cheers

Can't remember what if anything was engraved on the rib. I suspect if it was an address I would have noticed.
It was priced as a wall hanger. And the barrels appeared to have a lot of meat in them and were not heavily pitted. Barrels were probably off face, but hard to tell given the other issues.
I couldn't really tell what was going on with the extractor - when the gun was open the extractor would sort of rotate out of place. The Jones underlever seemed to have nothing holding it in place. So something was either broken or missing internally.
The stock was fine, forend was a little mangled and the locks seemed to operate properly.
I will be back in that area in a few weeks and will get more info if it hasn't sold.

If it is actually marked "Lindner", it is one rare gun if not faked up.

As Dave in Maine says, buy it. I doubt you'll regret rescuing it.

I see the tag on the gun says Linder, not Lindner [as in Daly guns] . Where did the Linder name come from ?
