I have a Charles Daley Prussian Trap Gun marked Lindner and it is in amazing condition. Receiver and furniture is BLUED and all the
guns I have seen for sale have case hardened receivers etc. BUT there is no blurring of engraving lines to indicate buffing prior to the blue.

Were any Linders imported as custom guns where bluing was requested?

Schoverling, Daly & Gales began to market the Lindner Charles Daly SBTs about 1912 Phil. Unlikely, but of course possible, that the gun was originally blued.

Such an elegant Lindner trap gun should not be reblued or recolored, regardless of whether the original finish was blue or colored. The ultimate owner should make that decision. I have seen and owned several Lindner and Parker single trap guns that are in incorrect finish on the receiver and all are quite elegant and will remain as is. Is the pictured gun for sale?

Could be for sale, I do not feel comfortable using it and have a Caesar Gurinni with high rib that fits me well. Just admiring the Lindner whenever in my gun room.

Almost a shame not to shoot it since it handles so well & almost as high a score with it as the modern dedicated trap gun.

Difficult to put a price on it not knowing if the blue was original or done by some absolute master gunsmith sometime in the past.

Even the wood puts the new high end guns look like mass production pieces.

Trying to get clear photos of engraving is like herding cats.

High resolution but really tight dept of focus. One or two of these show no rounding off of engraving that my eye can see although a professional restorer has said he believes this to be re-finished.
