I thought I'd start a new thread instead of making folks sort through 8 pages. I'll also include info on a Prussian Daly 10 ga hammer gun with no maker's name.
First fwt Lindner 12 Ga 28" Damascus 6#5oz Double Purdey underbite, Doll's Head top fastener, DT, Extractors, 14 5/8 LOP, Fiddle walnut, 40% case colors, cocking indicators, S/N's 663 & 875. ( Two S/n's are the norm. One is the regular s/n and the other may relate to the Daly exportations), scalloped receiver, 3" drop. Fine barrels
Second gun: Fwt Lindner 12 Ga 26" Krupp Steel, 6#, Ejectors, side clips, DT, 20% case colors, Circassian walnut, cocking indicators, S/N 1331/1590, 14 1/4" LOP, both have recoil pads added, scalloped receiver, both have English scroll engraving, the pattern amount the same but the older gun has finer scroll, 3" drop, Double Purdey underbite, square cross bolt top fastener. Fine barrels
Prussian Daly, unknown maker, 10 Ga Damascus hammer gun, 30" barrels, DT, no top lock, double Purdey underbite, extrtactors, 14 1/4" LOP, 3 1/8" drop, fine, light engraving, cross latch forearm attachment pin, S/N 424, Flats marked "CH", 10#14 oz, Beautiful Damascus, fine barrels, There are no other marking as the German govt required no proof marks until 1891 so this gun predates that date.
I have taken photos. Now I'll try to upload them to the computer and then get them posted. Give me a bit. New camera.

No Daryl, these are Lindners with the crossed pistols under HAL. Also, I got them separately from private parties.

I'm a little surprised those Featherweight Dalys are that heavy. I had a 185 grade/model, Lindner gun, 12ga 26", went just over 5 3/4.

I was alsosurprized. They feel like wands. I had better check my scale.

Do they have Featherweight on the ribs ? If not, then they must be regular Dalys, which is not all that bad.

One set of scales is too heavy and one set is too light. Now I know which to buy and sell bullion on. I'll get the actual weights figured out.

This thread should be re-named "The Big Tease"...
