Below is what I posted on a thread on Shotgunworld:


A Lindner-Daly hammergun built on the same platform as Lindner's father Georg Lindner made for Charles Daly. K.S. looks to be the tubeset knitter on the Belgian sourced tubes & both tubes wear H.A. Lindner's quality control mark of crossed sidearms surmounted by a crown. Lindner continued to use this quality control mark on his wares until the proof laws was initiated in 1893. I would hazard a guess that this example was completed in the early 1880s. Karl Streng(Karl Streng & Companie of Goldlauter) is one possibility for the mechanic w/ initials K.S, although a possibility exists for a Schlegelmilch mechanic. Hugo Kolb was the engraver that applied the adornment. Is it a 10 bore or 12 bore?

Cheers,
