So, it looks like the hammer gun actions may have all been sourced from England. Really, a "style change".

Back to serial numbers. Does this make sense? It appears that the earliest Scott actions with Scott serial numbers in the five digit range that lack Lindner marks can be attributed to Georg. Then, a serial number change was instituted at some point, with Georg still in control until the 1569-1662 range when we find the use of the first Lindner mark, attributed to Heinrich.

Going from what KG posted, was there a third set of serial numbers instituted associated with the second, or HAL Lindner mark?

I think the info is pretty set on the later A&D guns, it's figuring out these earlier hammer guns that fills the holes in the available information.

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