I need to retrieve the four Golcher guns from California. I had sent them as teaching tools at the Las Vegas show a couple of years ago.
Without them at hand, it is difficult to tell, but would say that the T L Golcher 10 gauge very high grade just may be a Lindner with Golcher's name on it. I will say that the engraving is about as good as it gets and few American guns of that era had such fine work. Everything about the gun shouts Lindner but the name on it.
Golcher was a very young man when the gun was built. No question that he was very talented as a gun maker, but whence came the master engraver in Phila. at that time?
So many questions!!!! Keeps us young---the quest. I feel 60 again !!!LOL
Best,
John
