Hmmm,

With 1875 being the earliest possibe year for the A&D IPUN, and the presence of first Lindner serialization A&D guns lacking the first Lindner mark, could that indicate Heinrich taking control a little later? Say, 1877, at the time of the Daly deal and his marriage? Especially if the Daly deal provided enough security for Georg to retire?
