Mark,
I failed to note in the post above that there are other technical and stylistic links that identify your gun as a Lindner-made gun (e.g., the second serial number ahead of the barrel flats, likely actioner initials within the bottom of the action, etc.). Thats said, it has the Lindner crossed pistols so that is the smoking gun. Ditto for the serial number of your Daly.
To follow-up on C Man's post on why the SAXONY mark shows up on this gun, as opposed to the PRUSSIA or THURINGIA mark which have been noted on other guns, I have some ideas but really nothing more than that at this point.
Ken

Without your help c-man I might have passed on this used-citori-priced gun. You never know when you'll run into a deal but I was due.
JB, that hammer-gun is sweet!
Ken and Michael, great info, thanks. I needed some reassuring.
One more ? What color was the original damascus?

Ken: Did you notice the 8 gauge Charles Daly Diamond Quality gun SN 2179 sold yesterday by Greg Martin Auctions. (Lot number 1616) It mentioned crossed pistols with a crown. Was that a Linder Daly? I bid on it but with the shortened barrels it went higher that I was willing to go.
Best Regards, George Lander

George,
I emailed you about a shotgun that I am interested in on the 11th, Did you get the email, or would you rather that I called you? Thanks, Ross

 Ahh darn, Mark! Now you went and ruined it for me. My only consolation for why I don't have one of these beautiful treasures is that they cost too much and you undoubtedly spent a small fortune on it.

A caution to those owning Lindners with this type "Herringbone" Damascus; a friend had a set of barrels ruined when they were reblacked by an expert. It would appear there are tiny voids where the "V's" interesect. His barrels came back with literally thousands of pits inside and out. Good shooting.

My thought exactly Chuck. If you spent the equivalent of a "used Citori priced gun", you did EXCEPTIONAllY well. I would wager you could buy 5 - 10 used Citoris for that this gun would bring.
Congrats on your gun.
Ken

C. This is a good point. Re-etching Damascus requires a real expert, and is not for the faiint of heart.
