I have a small data base Ive collected on about 50 Lindner HAL over pistols hammerless guns. Those are post the 1893 German proof laws changes. Around the time of the new proof laws and the switch to the HAL touchmarks, Lindner appears to have started a new serial numbering sequence. The lowest number I have is in the 200s. So I dont know if he restarted at 1 or 100. Or something else. The highest number I have is around 2500.

Others here may have more pertinent information.

So my guess would be around 3000 or a bit less from 1893 until he closed his doors in 1914.

There is a much more complete data base I dont have easy access to that has well over 500 guns but it covers the pre 1893 period and may include Prussian Daly guns made by others.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
