Thanks Bill.

Yes there is a relatively easy way to tell a Lindner gun.

First, they were all made prior to 1914. Lindner had a trade mark.......prior to 1891 it was a pair of crossed pistols with a crown above. When Prussia created a proof house in 1891, they reserved the use of a crown mark for the proof house. So Lindner had to change his mark. Which he did....he kept the crossed pistols but replaced the crown with his own initials......HAL.
