"In terms of Builders gun, assuming it is a hammerless, it would be REALLY unusual to have the crown over crossed pistol mark. Again, the last use of that mark I have recorded was in the 300/400 range. I’d love to see a photo to make sure it is not, for example, an old stock barrel on a newer gun. The Lindner barrel numbering would need to be consistent."

I have very credible data that narrows the Lindner Quality Control Stamp(LQCS) change to a serial number near/ @ / circa Nr. 450. Just a cursory data acquisition for now w/ additional info to come to light in due time w/ a direction for data mining.

My question to the Charles Daly Prussia aficionados on examples that wear the Lindner Quality Control Stamp would be: In early 1893 & considering the new German proof laws, how long would it take for H.A. Lindner to procure a new stamp & what variations might we see during this transition period? Like a counselor worth his salt, I fancy asking questions to which I may already have the answer?

Cheers,
