Possibly, but Daly was doing the sourcing. 1st he set up his "Factory" in Suhl and cobbled together a pool of mechanics centred around Georg Lindner & family sourcing lines. The once the A & D Body Action was accepted, he handed the design w/ belts & braces to H.A. Lindner to bring to a pinnacle of perfection and set up sourcing & paying the royalty for the APUN thru Auguste Francotte, who had a satellite APUN stamping station for Westley Richards. H.A. Lindner's task were to churn out exceptional sporting arms to the taste of the American Sportsman and his application of his control mark was his seal of approval.

Scott lock from 1885, that looks of cheaper manufacture. Note the crosspin has moved rearward. Also the 1870s-1880s saw a transition of hammers of stature that were "in the line of site" to lower profile hammers.
