If you don't mind, please post your pics into this thread.

You gun carries the second Lindner mark, second serialization number sequence (not counting the early Scott numbers) attributed to Heinrich. I suspect since it's #1594, it possibly has Damascus barrels that were blued over with the rest of the metalwork. I can't tell from the pics, have you looked it over carefully under magnification?

The barrel is actually marked "Krupp fluid Steel barrels"

Wouldn't that not be Damascus?


Yes, if it's marked "Krupp", it would certainly be fluid steel, and a more expensive option at the time. Fluid steel didn't really become common until after WWI, (only one Damascus maker restarted production for a short time after the war) which was after the Lindner era.

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