Thanks.

Let's see if I'm reading this right. 441's locks are clearly different than the Scott locks. Does this confirm it is indeed a later gun, produced with locks sourced by Lindner locally? If so, does this enable us to tell when that happened, the transition time from Scott to locally sourced locks? Any lower serial numbers on guns with non-Scott locks? Does Joe's lock 254 indicate this?

Would it have been serial #1 once they stopped using Scott locks?

Op's gun appears to have a different pin patten than either. Possibly sourced from Heinrich's wife's family by that time? Or had Schilling changed their production? Was lock design different if action forgings changed?

Regards
Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
