Joe: That may be the first occasion of you being without words.
ChiefShotguns:
Thanks for the accolades, whether warranted or not. Your request doesn't fall on deaf ears and is not alone. What began was a small search has really taken some breadth as well as depth. It's akin to a stick of bologna wrapped in a brown paper bag: the more I unwrap, the longer it gets and I really don't know where to chop it off. I have precedures in place to file, save and archive all of the data on this site as well as other info. But to bring you up to speed, I've decided to concentrate on the barrel makers/borers/finishers of Charles Daly/Linder Daly/Lindner examples finished or sold in the U.S. of A. To track the best examples of some finishers/makers one has to look toward Berlin where the facuet of money was located and where many of the makers sourced components from the best craftsmen in Germany which were located in the Suhl area. And that's the purpose of this thread to track down some of the quality pieces attributed to one of the Schlegelmilch folk to acquire more data in an attempt to eliminate other German gunmakers with the last initial of "S".
Recoil Rob:
Thanks for the effort and I knew someone on the board had this example but I didn't save the owner's info. Any intitials on the tubes?
Kind Regards,
Raimey
