AHHHHHHHHHH !! The butt plate solution.
Perhaps this gun is more a mystery than we had noted.
I would like to see a better pic of the rib engraving. I have often thought that Lindner sent guns to places other than Daly. We know of the one German one. The grade seems to eliminate a business man or diplomat's having bought it in N.Y. and then taken it back to Sweden. Maybe not.
Perhaps the seller has some notion of its history.
Jim: I agree and if the poster does not wish to try, I am sitting on ready to do so. If not too costly, this might make a great shooter (gift)for some young person as an introductory gun to our world.
Best,
