The "before" pictures show a pretty nice piece of wood. What was the issue that you needed Mr. Smith to address?

Small crack in wrist and a leather pad were a must, had it all done since was sending it off.

I dont know much about layout but I thought the same when I bought the gun. Its just a 185 but at 6.5 lbs and 28 barrels it should be as nice a gun as I ever thought I could have.

I havent seen one. He also made guns for one or two other American retailers but only a few, as I understand it.

I ran across one at a gun show decades ago it was a Jakob something or another I couldnt swing a grand back then. Funny I can still see the gun it was a 16. Easy to remember my youngest has that name. It was Mint!

Short of finding a Diamond quality( several different diamond quality grades as I understand ), a Lindner made for European market or one that doesnt fit a known grade like Mr. Manns Lindner would be my wish( dreaming big). I have an old pic I copied of his unknown quality Lindner somewhere it was almost 100% scroll work, super nice!
