Mike,
Just think how much better it would have been, if the gun had had been 16ga.
Mike.

Very nice gun! The only HAL I ever owned was not a diamond grade. Believe the experts here ID'd it as a 185 grade--the 185 being its cost long about WWI time. Lightest 2 1/2" 12 bore I've ever owned, at under 5 3/4#.
Steve Barnett has a 16ga beauty on his list.
Only thing of interest I can pick up from the proofmarks, which appear to be typical for that era, is that as a 13/1, your gun is slightly underbored. Not at all atypical for German guns.
If you have the proper screwdriver, you can probably time it correctly by removing it, adding a bit of blue Loctite, and putting it back in at the 12 o'clock position.

That isn't a good fix, Larry.
The screw goes into wood and has a job to do, which, it won't be doing in the 12:00 position. Better, without the use of blue Locktite, would be a shaving of cut, but not dry elm, wound around the threads near the start of the screw, to take up the slack and leave the screw tight in it's final timed position.
I'd use a drop of varnish when I reassembled it, not blue Locktite.
I don't think this gun deserves a halfway fix.
Best,
Ted

Heck of a NICE Gun, Mike.... And what a delight to have acquired it in a year (season) when you can put it to good use......
My kudos to you and your Shooting Skills for mastering those stock dimensions.....If appears that Joe may indeed be mentoring you now....
My Old Man's frequent admonition of "Heads up Son" would certainly apply here....
Hope the anticipated Bird hunt is progressing well......I'm just in from a bout with the Late season Doves, taking the Dogs out this afternoon for a Bobwhite chase.... Great day here, Got to get the Horse up and the collars charged....
Good Shooting to You......

Mike,
Beautiful gun. I have some nice guns, but one of the few I have a hankering to own is a Linder Daly. Love that engraving. I shudder to think what a gun of that quality would cost today. A 30" 16 gauge would be just the ticket for me. Enjoy.
Regards,
Jeff

Nice hunt. Beautiful shotgun. Nice weight for a 28" barreled 12ga Lindner. I have two 16ga Lindners but would like to find a 12ga such as yours.
With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.

Mike, that gun is absolutely stunning!!! I've always lusted after one of the high grade Daly's in 16ga. A wand at less than 6lbs (on average that is). Your lucky to have her!
Stay well!
