Nice effort Ken. The last one with "M.S." is probably Moritz Schilling and from Schuler. The V.C. Schilling example on another current thread is interesting in that it has the Lindner type forend and from what I can gather had H. Klett(forge/tube maker) and J. Heinrich Schilling being subs. So with that said are there any other indications that the typical forend latch as caught with a sharp eye by Mr. Hallquist on the V.C.S. example was specifically sourced from Schilling? I could very easily be wrong but either H. Schilling was involved with the heirs of V.C. Schilling or V.C. Schilling sourced the longarm from J. Heinrich Schilling. Also was H.A. Lindner the origin of where his stamp of approval would be as well as the contractor/filer/fitter stamp would be?
Kind Regards,
