Hum, wonder if it was gifted later after production or was just on the store shelves?
Cheers,

Now, if we only had an example of the engraving that SD&G used on the escutcheons when they were bought new, to compare the styles.
What is your opinion on 275's metal? Plated, or not?
I'm betting the gun was not new when gifted, possibly after having been "Spruced Up".

Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

The aspect that really interests me is on the pic of the bottom short rib, with the number 635 right on it. It's a coloring line, with the inside near the rib and short rib itself appearing blacker, yet the balance of the tubes appearing brown. This shouts to me a touch-up job, in an attempt to improve the tube set's appearance. I think it was done quite a while ago, possibly before it was sold to be gifted.

Ken/Raimey
First, as far as I can tell, my pics, hosted by Photobucket, are still showing up. It was just this week I upgraded to the cheapest "pay" account, the no-ad version. $2.49 a month.
On my gun forum up here in Canada, its a big topic of conversation with most being completely unwilling to upgrade to any level beyond the no ad version. A lot of good photos will be lost.
Raimey, I can see the pics you just posted that I orginally posted. But all other phhotos from you seem to be gone. And to be clear, that hammer Daly is not the Daly I bought last year. I was posting the hammer gun on behalf of someone else.
Ken, CJO has possession of the Diamond Grade Lindner I acquired last fall. It had a few problems (barrel dent, broken ejector rod) that needed fixing and Claudio will be doing a little restorative work as well. When it comes back, I'll post some photos.

Indeed from Westley Richards thru Francotte. If we could find info on the APUN payments we'd have it(follow the money). I don't recall the A&D Body Action patent being filed in Suhl but the mechanics rode several different platforms in an attempt to settle on one while the A&D Body Action protection period played out.
I've been pondering this paragraph. Would it be possible that Westly Richards still has the APUN records? Could it be possible to trace from W.R. through Francotte to Lindner? (or to SD&G). Why hasn't this been done already? There ya'go Raimey, what great info for the definitive Lindner-Daly book! Regards Ken

Mr. Hallquist has or had some of the A & D Body Action APUNs.

I wonder if Dig stumbled across said Richards A&D Body Action Apuns when he was researching his boxlock text?

Yeah, I guess it is the plating that makes it appear price-point. I'm curious if that was performed early on or much later in its life? Cheers, Raimey rse

It looks like the plating is flaking off in some spots, I'm betting it was applied quite some time ago. That, and the application of solution over original tube coating makes me think it was possibly done before gifting. Too bad they didn't properly recolor the action. It kind'a makes it a turn of the century equivalent of a "Pimp Gun"...fitting the description of "Tarted Up"...
If our dating is right, it had around a decade of use before it was altered.
Regards
Ken
