OWD:
Do you have access to this longarm and can you see if there are any initials on the tubes as well as read what is on the watertable? The forend lug and flats are very similar to Stallones Daly project gun as well as a Lindner Daly. Stallones' Daly project gun was finished in Germany and it the Golcher was finished in the U.S. of A., knowing whether it has initials stamped on the tubes just might be enlightening.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

There's a phone # in the Gunbroker listing. Give it a ring. The guy you'll speak with knows about all the marks and he can help you out.

Just ran to the gun safe to check and see if mine is still there (it is!). This gun is apparently virtually identical to my Lindner Golcher which is as special a big gun as I own. Mine has Lindner's mark on the barrels - bet this one does as well. Wonderful gun.

Joe:
Are there any initials on the underside of your tubes?

All I can say is "Wow." OWD -- what are the stock dimensions on this gun?

Nice gun with funny bores and repaired stock once in two pieces. I'm with Joe Taylor, it's a Lindner like the ones we own. My Golcher ten has barrels that measure about .900 outside at the chokes compared to the .850 on the listed gun. Yet my gun is nowhere near the weight of the listed gun. I was almost convinced that the listed gun was once a 12 gauge until the bores were monkeyed with. Oh well. Obviously, someone has been "in this gun". Has anyone gotten the seller to mention the serial number? Joe or I would probably be willing to bid more agressively is this gun were consecutively numbered to our guns. By the way, Joe, I don't have your serial number recorded where I can find it. What is your number? Mine is #1741. If you don't want to post yours, let me know and I will provide my email. Murphy

Murphy,
I spoke with the seller last week. The stock is cracked all the way through. He did his own repair. He also talked about the jug chokes and his belief that they are original. I believe the number on the barrels is 1164.

BTW: The owner of the gun isn't just some guy fiddlin' around with old guns. It's this guy: http://www.britannia-sports.com/He knows a thing or two about nice doubles. If you have any questions, give him a ring. He'll answer them. OWD

Bores in the .730s?? This is a 12 gauge with ruined chokes and muzzles, and probably reamed out chambers if it will accept ten gauge cases. I will further predict that the seller has a bathroom scale that he weighs guns on. I am not saying this isn't a good gun, just that it isn't quite what the seller is describing. I commend him for giving proper bore dimensions as well as giving the true measurements of the jug chokes. A nine pound eleven ounce twelve gauge would be an unusual gun indeed. If the advertised weight is in fact correct, I apologize for my bathroom scale remark.
