Raimey,

Another benchmark (of sorts) is the introduction of sideclips on the higher grade SxS Daly hammerless models. The 1902 SD&G catalog is the earliest I have found that mentions sideclips. Curiously though, the picture of the shotguns in the catalog above that description does not actually have sideclips. The 1903 SD&G catalog rectified that oversight.

As a guide, the introduction of sideclips comes pretty close to (roughly) serial #1000 (second series) which again happened in the 1901/1902 period. I have a another good date indicator in the 1899 year at ~#900 (second series). So the #1000 benchmark is reasonably accurate given those to date points.

All this assumes of course a relatively stable number of guns produced between the benchmark years which is likely a stretch, but also the best information I have barring any other benchmarks.

The production numbers per year is where I take issue as I just don't thing the production per year was as high in the 1890s as it was in the early 1900s, when Lindner made an expansion of his operation. When we find the Daly ledger, we will have the answers. Maybe, just maybe the Lindner ledger is contained in the Old Suhl jail?


Cheers,

Raimey,

I agree with your premise that the Lindner production was not consistent year to year, and likely nothing close to it. Looking at other period makers (with known production numbers) the yearly production volumes are often very lumpy, to use a technical term.

Changing demand due to the economic health of the market country, internal organizational and marketing changes within the company, etc., etc., would obviously all have an impact on production volumes. Lacking any of that information - and being too lazy to construct some model to account for some of the known issues - I have just assumed consistent production volumes between known "anchor points".

I also look forward to someone one day uncovering the Lindner production records so we can put this all to bed once and for all.

Regards,
Ken
