Saw that. It says something following Lindner that appears fuzzier. Do you know what that is?

I blew the picture up that Skeetx posted. I think I see Lindner on the lockplate, followed by two letters that might be N and C. The letters could be different, though. Do you have any proofmark info or other marks ?

Looks like it says Lindner NC or & C, can't really tell due to resolution.
Shop is asking a few hundred give or take. Lot of condition issues though.
Didn't get a chance to look at the proofs. They weren't great about customers disassembling guns.

Dan, the gun is a pretty one, but there must be things the pics don't show. It's certainly worth a few hundred, if only as a curiosity . The hammers look British to me. The way the gun is signed, Lindner could be a retailer as lots of bought in guns were signed like that.

If it is marked Lindner, and not faked up, it is well worth buying. Is there an initial before "Lindner"? Where is the marking, on the rib or on the lock?

eightbore, no initial that I can see. Marked on the lock. Not sure if it said anything on the rib.
Daryl, agreed that the hammers look English like off of an old converted pinfire or something.

Is it just me, or does this hammergun appear to anyone else to be a conversion from a pinfire mechanism? I remark the thin breech area, as well as the fact that it appears the one hammer that can be viewed does not align at the head with the exterior firing pin. Its hammer-tip also appears to have been broken off, as it is flat and squared, and the shape of this hare-hammer looks very similar to those usually found on a Pape gun.
Also, from the text of the initial post, I have the impression that the subject gun is perhaps somewhere marked "Charles Daly," and at this point it is simply an assumption that the gun must have been made / finished by either Georg or Heinrich Lindner.
It would, of course, be a great find, even in its deplorable condition, if the gun indeed evinces Lindner indicia, and if it is not spurious. But I would tend to doubt that it is a Lindner gun, though it may be marked Charles Daly; one trade name does not necessarily follow the other.
I hope that I am wrong, by the way.
Regards,
Edwardian
