You are right Eightbore.
I wasn't as clear as I could have been in my message. I think that the amount of work done by the various "custom makers" in the US with Lindner-sourced guns likely varied quite a bit between makers and time periods.
For some "makers", except for the name on the side of the action or the rib, the guns are basically identical to what Lindner was sourcing for the likes of SD&G. However, other maker's Linnder sourced guns show more custom or finishing work, to include engraving.
