Mr. Mann:

Sure my info is unusual, but if it were solely mine, time might prove something otherwise than sound. As I've stated before, my sources such as GGCA, and Ken's valiant efforts; DGJ, yours and Hans contributions; Mr. Cate's text; chance meetings, such as with Mr. Bob Jones; and general observation are to be noted and given credit. My mother says that I seem to be a child of the Depression, just about 40 years late, but I guess the pack-rat in me can be traced to my German roots.

At any rate, examples such as Mr. Hallquist's 1924 Daly seem to point toward being finished by Schuler with tubes from Sempert & Krieghoff finished by Moritz Schilling, or someone with similar "M.S." initials. Sempert & Krieghoff/Heinrich Krieghoff with his older brother Ludwig, Jr. not only was able to acquire the machinery of Valentine Christoph Schilling but in the mid to late 1930s acquired some machinery from the Erfurt/(Saarn transfered facility) arsenal(I think the Treaty of Versille called for it to be privatized(?)), which was some of the Simson/BSW/Gustloff-Werke(if very late 1930s) machinery. I think Schuler and Sempert & Kreighoff were closely intertwined. The subject frame is the shorter 48mm version which I don't think Lindner, living, would have allowed. Lindner may or may not have approved it, but longarms were produced and sold until the network fully folded. Lindner was the key.

Kind Regards,
