Does anyone know about or have a gun marked Kuhn of Philadelphia ? This 16 gauge seems well made and maybe the 16 gauge is unusual for the period.

Pretty gun and does look to be a quality build. Wish I had more to offer.

I agree with 8bore.
It looks like all that "German/Prussian" stuff coming out of the Philly area at that time.
What does the forend loop look like?

Daryl,
Let us see the bottom of the barrels and water table.

Thanks to all. You guys are pretty good. Here're a couple of pictures, one not so good. It seems to be a Lindner sourced gun. Typical high quality work from that source. I'm not sure how much work was done in Philadelphia. Old Wildfowler, your gun must be something. Is it possible we could see some pictures ? If needed , I can post them if you wish to email them to me. darylh1942@gmail.com I'm just now relearning how to post pics after photobucket's demise.

Looks like the First Lindner Mark. What's the serial number? A guess at production year would be post 1878 (approx) after Heinrich married and took over from Georg. It's hard to nail down without the serial number, as the mark was used during both serial number sequences. Current theory is the numbers were restarted when A&D patent protection ran out circa 1889. (basic patent) This doesn't relate directly to your gun's action, only to the Lindner serial number sequence which would aid in dating it.
Regards
Ken

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

Ken, the number is 2726, but there is no barrel number like in some guns. It has the typical Lindner loop, and has a checkered wood butt.
