I am now wishing harder that I could find a forearm to restore this old gun beeing so old it is in very good shape even the bores are very good the weight is the big draw back for me a 10 lb gun is too much for me at 75 but it must have been one heck of a duck goose gun in its day.

Yeah, Ken61 I keep deriving the same number which is the 18/month average. Adorned ones might take a bit longer, so yes an average.
Cheers,

I just looked at the ser # it is 61 engraved on trigger guard so may be a very early Linder gun with out stampings I was wondering why so little stampings and no proof marks now I am thinking this is a very early Linder there is an other stamp on the barrels but is so small looks like typewriter keys even with a 10 power loup I can not make it out the quality is poor compaired to the other stamps on the gun. I will steel wool it tomorrow and see if I can make it out it is so small hard to see it is stamped. It was made before the proof laws came into effect. Thats why it lacks marks. One of the things that makes early Daly's interesting. I'm afraid there's usually not an inexpensive solution for a lost forend. You can always get a piece of Walnut and try to mock one up so it could be displayed above your mantle. Regards Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

I checked the ser# on trigger guard it is engraved 61 now that I knowit isa Linder gun and so early I would like to source a forearm more than ever but that looks to be a very long shot at this point. It is in such good shape and only needs the forearm to be complete makes hope linger on.

Buddy, without the Lindner marks I don't think we can say definitively it's a Lindner, although it seems likely it may be. Ken or Raimey, feel free to correct me if you think I'm off on this.

IMHO, it's Lindner, but a Georg Lindner. There's also little doubt that Heinrich was also involved, It was simply before Georg had retired. There is really little difference as to which Lindner was involved as far as quality between Georg, Heinrich, and Ernst. The point is that they were all "Lindner Dalys". The question as to who produced the guns is more relevant post WWI, after the death of Ernst.
Both coming from and knowing many German families, it's common to have three generations working the family farm, with the oldest working well into his later years before retiring and giving up control. You know, kind'a like the British Royal Family..
Regards
Ken
