LOL, Raimey is doing all the hard work confirming my shoot from the hip, bold statements! Hahahaha. Thanks Raimey.

The barrel extension looks like it is set back too far. What would cause that?

Last Nail, the engraving more than likely is by the Master mechanic Hugo Kolb, Uncle of H.A. Lindner. Fritz Heimbeck, apprentice of Hugo Kolb, was probably closely following Kolb's craft about this time??

Raimey, other than we know Kolb was working on Lindner’s guns at that time, is there something specific in the engraving you are keying on when you suggest it was probably Hugo’s work?

Really that tight scroll and how he address the border that bounds the adornment plus the Antlers on the Roe Deer seem to be the dead giveaway???

Serbus,

Is it a master mechanic or engraver?

Ah, engraver but I put these in the same bowl as the master mechanics even if he can't depict Roe Deer antlers.

Serbus,

I’ve got access to a few Dalys with deer. Going to have a look at those antlers.

LS&B are a consignment type auction seller. They do get a lot of interesting guns to sell. I expect the reason for the $2,000.00 starting bid is the seller wanted it that way. Might be afraid of this gun going for some “bargain” bid. LS&B do an excellent job with pictures and good job with descriptions so very few gems slip through the cracks. Their descriptions need to be taken with a small grain of salt but compared to many other sellers they are within a stones throw of the truth. I think a lot of their sales get more attention by starting low and getting multiple bidders interested in bidding long before the close.

Finally got around to fixing picture issue


Here is one you looked at James….guess this must be by Kolb
